The study, now funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, will compare the benefits of annual fecal immunochemical tests and colonoscopies for cancer screening in older adults previously diagnosed with low-risk polyps.
The study will be led by TR Levin, MD, a research scientist for Kaiser’s division of research, and Audrey Calderwood, MD, a gastroenterologist at the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice.
The study will include more than 15,000 adults ages 70 to 82 across the country.
