Colorectal Health (FIT) Kit
The Colorectal Health (FIT) kit can help optimize your colorectal health by screening for colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous growths.When colorectal cancer is caught early, 9 out of 10 people can be cured. If you have colorectal cancer and do not get screened, you may miss the chance for early and more effective treatment.
The Colorectal Health (FIT) kit checks your fecal (poop) sample for tiny amounts of blood, which can be caused by colon cancer and some pre-cancerous growths. This at-home collection kit offers a quick, easy, and convenient way to order your kit and collect your sample from the comfort and privacy of your home. You will have six months to use your kit. When you send your FIT sample to LifeLabs, it will be tested for colorectal cancer. Your results will be available online.
