SELFCHECK BOWEL HEALTH TEST 1 PACK

SelfCheck home screening test - Bowel Health Test
A simple and reliable test to detect symptoms of colon polyps. Faecal immunochemical test (FIT). Contains 1 single test.

Why is this test important to me?
95% of all cases of colon (bowel) cancer result from benign tumours called polyps that grow inside the colon. This means that this type of cancer is one of the few where the development of tumours can be prevented by early intervention. Polyps in the colon often remain undetected for many years until they develop into a cancerous form. If a polyp is found in time and removed, it can halt the development of colon cancer. Early detection of colon cancer is very important and everyone over the age of 40 should perform a yearly faecal occult blood test in order to minimise risk.

How do I perform this test?
