This test is the FIT test standing for Fecal Immunochemical Test. It is a sensitive method for detecting minute amounts of blood in stool. That blood is the sign that there is trouble ahead.
Surgical researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute and Umeå University followed 376,511 people for up to 14 years. This screening program mailed each participant a kit every two years and asked for a stool sample. If blood was detected, additional testing, usually a colonoscopy, was offered.
For those who returned their kits and participated fully, the risk of dying from prostatic cancer is 43% lower than for those who remained unscreened.
*Though this observational study cannot prove that screening itself is responsible for this dramatic reduction, it does suggest that participating in colorectal cancer screening can save lives. You can buy these FIT tests online. They can and should be used during the intervals between your colonoscopies to pick up dangerous changes in a timely fashion.
