Compared to stool DNA testing, researchers found that CT colonography is a cost-saving and clinically effective method for colorectal cancer screening, according to a study published in Radiology.

The use of CT colonography (CTC) for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening prevents more cancers and is more cost-effective than multitarget stool DNA testing, a simulation study suggested. In a ...
