Stool/blood-based tests:
 • FIT: 79% sensitivity, 94% specificity for CRC
 • Multitarget stool DNA test: 92% sensitivity, 87% specificity for CRC, Long term reduction in CRC incidence unknown
 • Septin 9: 48% sensitivity, 91% specificity for CRC
Direct visualization:
 • Colonoscopy: 100% detection rate for CRC, Long term reduction in CRC incidence of 31-71%, mortality 65-88%
 • Flexible sigmoidoscopy: 90-100% sensitivity for distal CRC, Long term reduction in CRC incidence 21%, mortality 26%
 • CT colonography: 90-100% sensitivity for CRC, Poor sensitivity for flat lesions or SSLs
 • Colon capsule: 81% sensitivity, 93% specificity for polyps >6mm
