36% of people say they’re more likely to complete an at-home colon cancer screening collection kit if it comes from their employer1
Routine screening is key to preventing colon cancer deaths
Did you know:
- An estimated 60% of colon cancer deaths are preventable if everyone follows screening guidelines
- Colon cancer screening is recommended for everyone between the ages of 45 and 75
- Screening tests can detect early cancer or precancerous changes long before they cause symptoms, and while they’re still easy to treat
59% of people say they still haven’t acted on their plans to get screened for colorectal cancer1
A colon cancer screening program with at-home collection is an investment in your most valuable asset: your employees
While a colonoscopy remains the “gold standard” for screening, ColoFIT offers a trusted at-home screening collection option for people ages 45-75 at average risk.
How does ColoFIT work?
A fecal immunochemical test, or FIT, is a noninvasive screening test that uses antibodies to detect traces of blood in the stool that may be invisible to the naked eye.
Labcorp’s ColoFIT test is a highly sensitive test and doesn’t require a large stool sample like other home screening methods. With a negative result, you can be 99.8% certain that no precancerous or cancer changes are taking place in the colon.
A ColoFIT at-home screening collection kit requires no preparation or thick liquid drinks. Simply follow the instructions provided with the kit from the comfort and privacy of home.
Individuals using ColoFITTM to screen for colorectal cancer should repeat FIT testing on an annual basis.
