I'm glad that you brought up the issue of colorectal cancer. Let's talk about some of the different tests that are available. The good news is that colorectal cancer is much more curable if it is found early. Also, testing can prevent colorectal cancer by finding small growths in the large intestine, called polyps. That way, they can be removed before they become cancer.
Colorectal cancer is a common type of cancer.
In fact, it is the second leading cause of cancer related death. Both men and women get colorectal cancer, and most people who get colorectal cancer don't have any special risk factors for the disease. You could have colorectal cancer even if you don't have symptoms. To do the test, you will need to collect specimens from three individual feces samples. The stool test looks for bleeding in the large intestine.
