How FIT Screening Works

Fecal (poop) test, also known as fecal immunochemical test, is an evidence-based colon cancer screening recommended by U.S. Preventative Services Taskforce. It is easy and convenient as it can be done at home and sent to the laboratory using a prepaid envelope enclosed. It checks for tiny amounts of blood that may indicate cancer or other issues.
