New research finds a home test called FIT is effective at detecting early signs of colon cancer in people at average risk. CBS News' Tom Hanson has details.
more testing will always increase the detection of any disease in a population. it's a self sustaining reason for more testing, it does not mean we are actually at more risk. OTOH, that does not mean more testing is ineffective or inaccurate or not helpful.
Let me tell you people [trust me on this]. My cousin is a very well known gastroenterologist telling me how stupid I am not going to take a test but went there but I'm okay. Yes, you people go take a test because it's early to catch them before it's too late
I have had serious awful pain in my tummy found blood in my poo sometimes plus my poo looks really odd sometimes smells awful the pain I have been is just awful extended stomach yet everytime I say anything to a doctor I'm just dismissed I'm worried
I thought they said Dr. Lapoop. Best name ever for a colon doctor.
Any amount of blood even from a hemorrhoid will trigger a colonoscopy.

Did he say his name was John LaPoop?
What is the data on false positives and negatives?

Get a new doctor
I am very happy to have Dr Oiwoh as my Doctor.He is very thorough & caring. It is very helpful to get acquainted to him I'm grateful...

How does it work?
Just detecting blood in stool ?
If so it doesn't worth because you can do it in lab
Dr Oiwoh is phenomenal i feel comfortable that he is looking after my well-being...
So what is your excuse for not trying this test?
Make Racists Afraid Again - availability of the test
all about the MONEY
That is good news but be carefull
Be careful of what? Elaborate?
Is it real or not
