A comparative study of eight fecal occult blood tests and HemoQuant in patients in whom colonoscopy is indicated

Some studies suggest that immunochemical fecal occult blood tests (FOBTs) and HemoQuant are more efficient at detecting fecal occult blood than the commonly employed Hemoccult II (guaiac) test. We undertook this study to determine whether an immunochemical test either alone or in combination with a guaiac test gives efficiency superior to the Hemoccult II test in predicting significant gastrointestinal tract disease
