What do the results mean?
If the bowel cancer test kit shows a positive result (two
lines in the window), you can assume that there is blood in your stool. You should
be examined by a doctor. Remember this does not necessarily mean bowel cancer nor
indeed colon polyps. Blood in the stool can have other causes (e.g. haemorrhoids).
If colon polyps are detected, it is the size of the polyp that determines the risk
of colon cancer. There are many other symptoms of bowel cancer click here for further
information.
Why is bowel cancer testing so important?
Polyps usually cause no problem and may
go unnoticed for many years. Early detection of colon cancer is vital, the chance
of successful treatment is higher if the cancer is detected and treated in its early
stages. Being alert for bowel cancer symptoms is a sensible precaution.
How does the test work?
Our kits are what are known as a FOB bowel cancer test kit.
They detect invisible (so-called occult or hidden) traces of blood in the stool.
The kit detects human bleeding specifically and accurately and is not influenced
by diet.
Does my family history affect my risk of developing bowel cancer?
It seems that a genetic mutation can increase your risk of developing bowel cancer risk, if in your family you have had 2 or more close relatives on the same side of the family have developed bowel cancer at some time, 1 or more close relatives developed bowel cancer at a young age (for example under 45) or if there are cases of bowel and womb cancer on the same side of your family
