Next-generation multitarget stool DNA testing
upin silico1
Next-generation multitarget stool DNA testing increases colorectal cancer detection in silico (+11% CRC cases detected vs colonoscopy).
“Over 10 years per 1,000 individuals offered screening, ng mt-sDNA detected 13% more precancerous lesions and 11% more CRC cases than colonoscopy”

Shield blood-based assay
upin humans1
Shield blood-based assay predicts colorectal cancer detection in humans (average-risk screening population in the ECLIPSE study) (83.1% sensitivity for CRC; 13.2% sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesions).
“the Shield blood-based assay demonstrated 83.1% sensitivity for CRC, whereas the sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesions was only 13.2%.”
