Resumo: dc.description.abstractRectal cancer is a malignant neoplasm with high mortality and morbidity, whose early detection is crucial to improve clinical outcomes. This study performed a systematic review of the literature to compare the effectiveness of fecal occult blood (SOF) testing and colonoscopy in screening for rectal cancer. The search in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases resulted in 1,200 articles, of which 36 were included in the review. Colonoscopy showed greater sensitivity (95% to 99%) and specificity (90% to 100%) compared to SOF, whose sensitivity ranged between 60% and 80% and specificity between 85% and 95%. Although invasive and more expensive, colonoscopy allows the removal of polyps during the procedure. SOF, in turn, is a non-invasive and more economical method, with greater patient adherence (70% to 85%) compared to colonoscopy (40% to 60%). Greater adherence to SOF may result in greater global case detection in population-based screening programs. It is concluded that the choice between SOF and colonoscopy must consider not only diagnostic efficacy, but also costs, patient adherence and available infrastructure. Combined strategies and personalized approaches are recommended to optimize early detection of rectal cancer, especially in resource-limited settings. Introduction: Rectal cancer is a malignant neoplasm that represents a significant burden of global mortality and morbidity. As one of the most common forms of colorectal cancer, its early detection is crucial to improve clinical outcomes and reduce associated mortality. Effective screening strategies are therefore essential for the early identification of neoplastic and preneoplastic lesions in the rectum [1]. Currently, two widely used methods for screening for rectal cancer are the fecal occult blood test (SOF) and colonoscopy. SOF is a non-invasive technique that detects the presence of occult blood in feces, a potential indicator of malignant or pre-malignant lesions in the gastrointestinal tract [2].pt_BR
