Doctors trained to offer choice in colon cancer tests
NCT ID NCT03510858
Summary
This study tested whether training family doctors to better discuss two different screening tests—colonoscopy and a simple at-home stool test—would lead more patients to get screened for colorectal cancer. It involved 44 Swiss doctors and their patients aged 50-75. The goal was to see if giving doctors better tools and information would help patients make informed choices and increase overall screening rates.
