Faecal Occult Blood Testing

The major use of faecal occult blood testing in Europe is for the detection of colorectal cancer. The purpose of this brief paper is to draw attention to a current report I on this subject by the United Kingdom Coordinating Committee on Cancer Research (UKCCCR), and additionally to comment on laboratory aspects of faecal occult blood testing not covered in that report. Our interest in this subject was broadened by our involvement in the UKCCCR Working Party and we hope that our views expressed here will stimulate interest in this important though often neglected area of clinical chemistry.
