Our Bowel Cancer Test is designed to identify possible signs of bowel disease or bowel cancer. This test can detect small amounts of blood in your stool (poo) that you may not be able to see or detect otherwise.
If you have noticed any signs of bleeding, you may want to consider taking this Bowel Cancer Screening Kit test. Many bowel abnormalities, which can develop into cancer over time, are more likely to bleed than normal tissue. If blood is found in your stool, it may indicate abnormalities in the bowel. Early detection improves treatment outcomes.
This test requires a stool sample. Once you have collected your sample, place it in the pre-paid envelope provided and send it to our accredited UK laboratory for fast and accurate analysis.
Important to note:
If your Bowel Cancer Screening Test Kit returns a positive result for blood in your stool, you should see a doctor about the results. Your result will be quantitative, meaning you will see a number and an explanation of what this means.
A result indicating blood means you may have bleeding in your digestive tract, but it does not necessarily mean that you have cancer. Other conditions that may produce this result include ulcers, haemorrhoids, polyps and benign tumours.
Further follow-up procedures may be necessary to find the source of the bleeding and ensure the success of treatment.
