  • For CTC, at each size threshold the number of screenees with a matched lesion at confirmatory testing (endoscopy or surgery) is reported. For colonoscopy, the size categories are the endoscopic size for polyps and histologic size for adenomas.

  • Probability value for χ2 test.

  • †10 additional screenees had no confirmatory testing but suspected CRC on CT.

  • CRC, colorectal cancer; CTC, CT colonography.
