Test Procedure
The Colon Health Check Test is a onetime test done in the privacy of your home. It can be completed in just five minutes. The test is 98% accurate at detecting a serious sign of Colon Cancer—blood in your stool. The Colon Health Check Test is FDA cleared and recommended by the American Cancer Society. It is not intended to replace a colonoscopy but, it can be effectively used as both a pre and post colonoscopy test to screen for a serious early warning sign of Colon Cancer.
