BEAT Cancer Study Findings

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.

Learn how to set up the sampling bottle, position the collection paper, and deposit the stool sample without water contact. We'll guide you on using the sample probe correctly and sealing the bottle securely.
