Which stool-based test for colon cancer screening is recommended every 3 years?

FIT
gFOBT
MT-sDNA
Stool PCR

The correct answer is: MT-sDNA

The correct stool-based test for colon cancer screening that is recommended every 3 years is MT-sDNA. The other options, namely FIT, gFOBT, and Stool-PCR, are not recommended every 3 years for colon cancer screening. FIT and gFOBT are usually recommended annually, while Stool-PCR may be used for high-risk patients but may not be recommended for everyone. MT-sDNA, on the other hand, is specifically recommended every 3 years for colon cancer screening by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). It is important to follow the recommended screening guidelines to ensure timely detection and management of colon cancer.
