Integration of risk stratification into fecal immunochemical test (FIT) might aid in the suboptimal detection of advanced neoplasms by FIT in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the participation and diagnostic yield of the parallel combination of questionnaire-based risk assessment (QRA) and FIT, FIT-only and QRA-only strategies in a CRC screening program in China.
