Colorectal Cancer Tests with ROADL
ROADL makes colorectal cancer screening easier and more accessible by offering at-home tests that eliminate the need for invasive procedures or trips to the doctor’s office. These tests are safe, effective, and convenient, giving you the tools to take charge of your health from the comfort of your home.
What Are At-Home Colorectal Cancer Tests?
Colorectal cancer screening is essential for early detection and prevention. While a colonoscopy remains the gold standard, at-home tests offer a simpler alternative. These tests involve collecting stool samples at home and sending them to a lab for analysis. They are an excellent choice for those who:
- Prefer to avoid invasive procedures.
- Have difficulty accessing in-office screenings.
- Want a faster, easier way to monitor their colon health.
Types of At-Home Tests Offered by ROADL
ROADL provides the guaiac fecal occult blood test (gFOBT) as part of our at-home colorectal cancer screening services. This test uses a chemical to detect hidden blood in your stool, which may indicate colorectal cancer or polyps.
How the gFOBT Works
No Preparation Needed
Unlike traditional colonoscopies, you don’t need to fast or clear your bowels.
Simple Collection Process
- Place a plastic ring over your toilet bowl to hold the collection tub.
- Collect your stool sample in the provided container.
- Use a probe to collect a small sample, then place it into the collection tube.
- Add the liquid preservative to the container and seal it.
Annual Screening
This test should be completed yearly for ongoing monitoring.
