Aerodigestive cancer
no changein humans1
Multitarget stool DNA has no effect on aerodigestive cancer in humans (7 observed vs 7.62 expected, P = 0.823).
“Seven patients developed aerodigestive cancers (2 pancreatic, 5 lung), consistent with expected age- and sex-adjusted Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results incidence (n = 7.62) ( P = 0.823).”

Multitarget stool DNA predicts colorectal neoplasm in humans (100.0% - 43.0% and 53.3% - 27.2%).
“mt-sDNA demonstrated superior sensitivity compared to FIT in detecting CRC (100.0% - 43.0%) and advanced adenomas (53.3% - 27.2%)”
