Digestive Cancers Europe shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Most countries start colorectal cancer screening with a simple home test: the Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT).
FIT checks for hidden blood in stool – an early sign of polyps or colorectal cancer.
A positive result means a follow-up
colonoscopy to find the cause.
A negative result usually means
repeating the test in two years.
Screening is easy, safe, and proven to save lives.
Take the test when you’re invited, even when you feel perfectly well.”
