Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to detect hidden blood in stool, an early sign of colorectal cancer and other lower gastrointestinal disorders.
This at-home test screens for blood in the stool that is not visible to the naked eye. A positive result may indicate lower gastrointestinal bleeding. This test is a first step in colorectal cancer screening and does not provide a diagnosis. Results should be discussed with a healthcare provider to determine next steps. The test is easy to use and requires no special preparation or fasting.
