Advanced colorectal cancers may not cause noticeable symptoms, which makes early screening even more critical. Bleeding, especially from polyps and tumors, is intermittent, so blood is not always present in all stool samples. Repeat testing can increase the chances of determining if blood is present from a reoccurring problem. FIT should be repeated at least once a year when used as a screening tool for colorectal cancer screening.

“I had a positive at-home FIT test. As a result, I had a subsequent colonoscopy and open surgery to remove a large mass. It was malignant. I am only 47 and did not want a colonoscopy if the FIT test was normal.  Thank you for offering it and it may have saved my life.”

There are pros and cons for the different options used for screening.  If you are reluctant to get a screening colonoscopy but dedicated to protecting your health, an at-home fecal immunochemical test (FIT) may be a good alternative.  We encourage you to speak with your provider to determine which test is right for you.

While colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US,² it’s usually slow-growing in the early stages (it typically starts as a noncancerous polyp). This means that screening for blood in the stool may help determine possible signs of cancer (or other gastrointestinal disorders) while it's still curable.

Unfortunately, even fairly advanced colorectal cancers may not produce noticeable symptoms, making the need for screening even more critical.    Age is the most important risk factor when it comes to developing colorectal cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that everyone ages 45-75 are screened annually using a FIT test.³    It is important to note that colonoscopies and other methods that visualize the colon are more likely to pick up cancers and find patients who are at increased risk of developing cancer in the future. During a colonoscopy, polyps can be removed and biopsied. FIT screening is not appropriate for individuals who are already considered high risk for colon cancer. If you are high risk, talk to your healthcare provider about the need for a colonoscopy.

Because FIT explicitly detects the presence of blood, women should not take this test during or at the anticipated time of menstruation, as it may interfere with the accuracy of results. If you have an ongoing condition (such as diverticulitis or hemorrhoids) where blood can occasionally show up in the stool, this test may not be suitable for you. We encourage you to consult a healthcare provider to discuss which types of screening are recommended.

However, you may need to be screened earlier if you have: • Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis • Personal or family history of CRC or colorectal polyps • Certain genetic conditions4

Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory. Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing laboratories.

Some individuals are at higher risk due to personal or family history of colorectal cancer or polyps. Those with genetic polyp syndromes are especially at higher risk. If you have a family history of CRC, or other factors that increase your risk, talk to your healthcare provider about the timing and appropriate CRC screening methods.
