Early Detection: FOBT can detect colorectal cancer at an early stage, when treatment is more likely to be successful. This early detection can lead to a reduction in cancer mortality rates.
Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to other screening methods like colonoscopy, FOBT is relatively inexpensive. This makes it feasible for large-scale public health initiatives.
Population Coverage: Because FOBT is non-invasive and easy to administer, it can achieve high participation rates, ensuring that a larger portion of the population is screened.
