  • *Overall neoplasia diagnosis in colonoscopies after a positive mt-sDNA test was 15% higher vs screening colonoscopy (47% vs 32%, respectively).4
  • Colonoscopies following positive mt-sDNA results detected 12% more clinically relevant serrated polyps vs colonoscopy only (20.9% vs 8.6%, respectively).2
  • Patients with positive mt-sDNA results had more histologically advanced findings vs those with positive FIT results (P=0.0054) and those who only underwent colonoscopy (P<0.0001).1
