Bowel Cancer Screening
Understanding bowel cancer screening
In its early stages, bowel cancer can cause no obvious symptoms. Screening can help identify potential warning signs before changes become noticeable.
Our Bowel Cancer Screen uses qFIT (Quantitative Faecal Immunochemical Test) technology to detect tiny traces of blood in your stool that are invisible to the naked eye. This can help identify people who may need further investigation.
A positive qFIT result does not mean you have bowel cancer. Blood in the stool can have a number of possible causes, which is why further assessment by a healthcare professional may be recommended.
A normal result also does not completely rule out bowel cancer or other bowel conditions. If you have symptoms or concerns about your bowel health, you should speak to your GP or healthcare professional regardless of your test result.
