The Surelab Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) is a non-invasive screening tool used to detect occult blood in the stool. This test is critical for identifying potential problems with the digestive system, such as colon cancer or other bleeding disorders, that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Characteristics
Non-invasive and simple: FOBT requires only a small stool sample, making it easy to perform at home or in a medical setting
Early detection: The test can identify the presence of blood in the stool before noticeable symptoms occur, allowing for early diagnosis and intervention
Regular screening is essential: Regular FOBT screenings are recommended, especially for people over 50 or those at high risk for colon problems
Life-saving potential: Early detection by FOBT can significantly improve the prognosis and treatment success of various digestive disorders
