A lot of the comments here seem to come from the perspective that a colonoscopy is the only way to screen for colorectal cancer. There are also fecal sample tests such as FIT and FIT-DNA. Both involve home collection of fecal samples for testing. In the case of FIT yearly and FIT-DNA every 3 years. In the case of both if there is a positive result a colonoscopy is then performed. Outside the US annual FIT testing seems to be the standard of care versus a screening colonoscopy. A similar study with yearly FIT tests would be interesting to see. I suspect you might have a better compliance rate than the 42% seen in this study.
