A novel method combining genetic variants, symptoms, and patient characteristics is moderately successful at predicting which primary care patients are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) within the next 2 years — without the benefit of a faecal immunochemical test (FIT). Up to 16% of primary care patients are non-compliant with FIT, which is the gold standard for predicting CRC.
