Bowel Cancer: Screening
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what sensitivity threshold the faecal immunochemical test will be set when it is introduced into the bowel cancer screening programme.
- Answer
-
A final decision has yet to be taken on the sensitivity threshold for the faecal immunochemical test on its introduction to the bowel cancer screening programme in April 2018. Setting the threshold will require the balancing of a number of different factors, including how endoscopy capacity is affected.
