Proctologists are not going to be too happy. Colonoscopies are a cash cow.

Negative fecal tests tied to low risk for advanced colorectal cancer (Multiple negative FIT tests seem accurate)

Isn't that the stupidist headline ever written?   This "well duh" moment brought to you by Medical Xpress © dot com and by Science X Network.

Does a negative fecal test mean no pre-cancerous polyps? If not, that’s why I’d prefer the scope. I had two removed five years ago and was clean last November. Next one not due for seven years now.

“fecal immunochemical tests (FIT)”

Would that be like the Cologuard test?
