Abstract

Adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening strategies is imperfect and is ∼40% for annual fecal immunochemical tests (FIT) and ∼70% for triennial multi-target stool DNA (mt-sDNA) tests, based on cross-sectional data. Many microsimulation analyses have not considered differential adherence across screening modalities, which may lead to inaccurate conclusions regarding comparative effectiveness. We used the CRC-AIM microsimulation model to estimate the impact of varying adherence rates on the relative benefits of FIT and mt-sDNA screening.
