| Description | Fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) have been used as an initial test in CRC screening programs. However, majority of patients don't have advanced neoplasia on colonoscopy. Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) has the potential to reduce the need for optical colonoscopy (OC). The main aim of the study was a negative predictive value (NPV) of the second generation of colon capsule endoscopy (CCE2) for large polyps (_> 10 mm). The secondary aims were: accuracy of detection of all polyps (polyps _> 6 mm and _> 10 mm) and cancers, the number of complications and target population acceptance of both methods (CCE2 and OC). |
