Frequently Asked Questions!

Have a question in mind? Here’s a list of commonly asked questions that might help you find quick answers.

ColoCam Tube® FIT – Self-test Kit

The ColoCam® FIT is a stool-based, non-invasive home screening kit designed to detect hidden blood in stool samples that may indicate early-stage colorectal cancer. The test is convenient, easy to use, and provides accurate results without the need for invasive procedures.

FIT tests are highly specific and detect human hemoglobin proteins in stool samples. This targeted approach significantly improves accuracy and reduces false-positive results compared to older guaiac-based fecal occult blood tests (FOBT), making it a reliable screening tool for colorectal cancer.

Results are typically available within minutes, depending on the cassette or device used with the test. The rapid turnaround time allows for quick assessment and timely medical consultation if needed.

No dietary restrictions or adjustments are necessary before taking the FIT test. Unlike older screening methods, FIT results are not affected by dietary intake, vitamins, or supplements, making it more convenient for users.

The FIT test is recommended for average-risk adults aged 45 and older as part of routine annual colorectal cancer screening. Individuals with a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors should consult with their healthcare provider about appropriate screening schedules.

ColoCam DX® FIT-DNA

FIT-DNA is an advanced screening method that combines traditional fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) with molecular analysis of DNA biomarkers in stool samples. This dual approach significantly improves sensitivity for detecting early-stage colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous polyps.

After collection, stool samples are securely shipped to a specialized clinical laboratory where advanced molecular techniques are used to analyze DNA mutations and FIT biomarkers. Results are then provided to your healthcare provider for review and interpretation.

FIT-DNA offers higher sensitivity for detecting colorectal cancer and advanced adenomas compared to FIT alone. However, it may involve higher costs and requires laboratory processing. The choice between FIT and FIT-DNA should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider based on your individual risk factors.
