Who is this test for?
Average Risk Individuals
Aged 45 and older: regular screening is recommended for those aged 45 and above as part of routine colorectal cancer screening.
Individuals with Increased Risk
• Family History: those with a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, particularly if a first-degree relative was diagnosed before age 50.
• Personal History: individuals who have had colorectal polyps, colorectal cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease (such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis).
Symptomatic Individuals
Gastrointestinal Symptoms: those experiencing symptoms such as unexplained abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss may be recommended to undergo the test as part of a broader diagnostic approach.
"A faecal immunochemical test (FIT) is invaluable to detect occult (hidden) blood in the stool which can be a sign of precancerous polyps or colorectal cancer. Across the UK, the NHS uses FIT in primary care. Access to self-diagnostics, in appropriate risk categories, can significantly enhance the way bowel cancer is prevented, treated and cured."
