Rationale for change
I believe this card is missing enough detail to honestly arrive to the answer. There are numerous dx that present with positive occult blood and negative colonoscopy (gastric, esophageal, small bowel), and only 1/3 of ampulla cancer pts have occult blood. https://www.uptodate.com/contents/epidemiology-clinical-presentation-diagnosis-and-staging-of-ampullary-carcinoma#H4
I recommend including some additional symptoms of fat malabsorption, steatorrhea, diarrhea.
