Description
Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)
Self-Collected Stool Sample
- The Colon Cancer Screening Test is an easy way to check for signs of colon cancer or pre-cancerous growths from the comfort and privacy of your home.
- This test is recommended for adults aged 50 to 74, with average risk. This screening is usually performed yearly.
- Unlike preparation for a colonoscopy, this at-home test provides an easier alternative. There is no need to change your diet or do anything to prepare — simply collect your stool sample and send it back. The test can detect blood in the stool, which can indicate the presence of precancerous growths or cancer in the colon.
