Several new fecal occult blood tests have advantages over older ones when used for colorectal cancer screening. Fecal immunochemical tests can detect antibodies to human globin in the stool and can be used without the dietary restrictions needed with traditional guaiac tests. Although colonoscopy is often considered the gold standard, we hope that these new tests will allow more people to be screened and more cases of colorectal cancer to be detected early.
几种新的粪便潜血检测方法在用于结直肠癌筛查时比旧方法具有优势。粪便免疫化学检测可以检测粪便中的人球蛋白抗体，并且可以在不需要传统愈创木脂测试所需的饮食限制的情况下使用。虽然结肠镜检查通常被认为是金标准，但我们希望这些新的检测方法能够让更多的人接受筛查，并更早地发现更多的结直肠癌病例。
