Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze colorectal cancer screening data of 40-74 year old population in Shipai Town, Dongguan City. In this study, the data of SDC2 Gene Methylation Test and Fecal Immunochemistry Test (Q-FIT) were screened from about 11,000 subjects who participated in Colorectal Cancer Screening in Shipai Town People's Livelihood Project from May 2021 to May 2022. Data from 822 subjects with positive SDC2 Gene Methylation Test and/or positive Fecal Immunochemistry Test (Q-FIT) results and with colonoscopy and/or pathological results were selected for retrospective analysis. This retrospective study evaluated the screening performance of SDC2 Gene Methylation Test and/or Fecal Immunochemistry Test (Q-FIT) for colorectal cancer using colonoscopy and/or pathological results as the clinical standard method.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Positive predictive value (PPV)

    PPV is the number of real positive cases in the total number of stool gene DNA methylation detection positive or/and Q-FIT positive.

    one month

  • Sensitivity

    Sensitivity is the percentage of subjects with colon cancer who are correctly identified by the testing kit.

    one month

  • Tumor detection rate in the positive screening results

    Compare to clinical standard method results, the tumor detection rates of the three groups were analyzed.

    one month
