Abstract
The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) can identify patients with advanced colorectal neoplasms, but it also has a high rate of false-negative results. It would be helpful to characterize colorectal neoplasms that are not detected by FIT to aid in development of new tests. We characterized colorectal neoplasms from patients who had negative results from the FIT.
