- Sterile rapid test to detect the first symptoms of colon polyps, adenomas, carcinomas and other silent lesions
- Detects occult (hidden) bleeding: 0.14ul blood / 1g stool (highly specific for human haemoglobin)

Why is this test important?
- Cancer of the bowel is the third most common cancer in the UK
- It usually takes around 5-10 years for colon cancer formation
- Therefore early detection is very important and can save lives
- Everyone over the age of 40 should perform a yearly fecal occult blood test in order to minimise risk and detect colon polps (precursors of cancer)
