TAKING A FECAL IMMUNOCHEMICAL TEST (FIT) TO SCREEN FOR COLORECTAL CANCER (CRC)
FROM HOME IS EASIER THAN EVER.

The Labcorp ColoFIT™ Colon Cancer Home Collection Test is a trusted colon cancer
test recommended once a year for individuals age 45 and up at average risk for
colon cancer. This screening test can detect the presence of hidden blood in the
stool, giving you the answers you need to plan for a healthier future.

 

Note: The Labcorp ColoFIT™ Home Test is a screening tool and does not diagnose
CRC. A FIT is not a substitute for a colonoscopy if your healthcare provider
recommends one.

WHY CONSIDER THIS TEST

❮ ❯


TAKING PROACTIVE MEASURES

While colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in
the US,² it’s usually slow-growing in the early stages (it typically starts as a
noncancerous polyp). That means that screening can find cancer while it's still
curable.

While colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in
the US,² it’s usually slow-growing in the early stages (it typically starts as a
noncancerous polyp). That means that screening can find cancer while it's still
curable. 
 
Unfortunately, even fairly advanced colorectal cancers may not produce
noticeable symptoms, making the need for screening even more critical. 
 
Age is the most important risk factor when it comes to developing colorectal
cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that everyone ages 45-75 are
screened annually using a FIT test.³ 
 
It is important to note that colonoscopies and other methods that visualize the
colon are more likely to pick up cancers and find patients who are at increased
risk of developing cancer in the future. During a colonoscopy, polyps can be
removed and biopsied. FIT screening is not appropriate for individuals who are
already considered high risk for colon cancer. If you are high risk, talk to
your healthcare provider about the need for a colonoscopy.

LOOKING FOR AT-HOME OPTIONS

Annual screening with this at-home collection kit allows you to screen for
colorectal cancer at home—giving you the peace of mind you want without the
special prep.





IT MAY RUN IN YOUR FAMILY

Some individuals are at higher risk due to personal or family history of
colorectal cancer or polyps. Those with genetic polyp syndromes are especially
at higher risk. If you have a family history of CRC, or other factors that
increase your risk, talk to your healthcare provider about the timing and
appropriate CRC screening methods.

“I had a positive at-home FIT test. As a result, I had a subsequent colonoscopy
and open surgery to remove a large mass. It was malignant. I am only 47 and did
not want a colonoscopy if the FIT test was normal.  Thank you for offering it
and it may have saved my life.”

 * HOW DO I COLLECT MY STOOL SAMPLE?
   
   Collecting a sample for your Labcorp ColoFITTM Home Test is simple. If you’d
   like to see a video explaining the process, click here.
   
    
   
   1.       When you are ready to collect your sample, register your kit online
   at ondemand.labcorp.com/register.
   
   2.       Place all kit contents on a clean, dry surface.

   Full detailed instructions are included in the kit package.


 * WHEN SHOULD I START SCREENING FOR COLORECTAL CANCER?
   
   The American Cancer Society recommends that people with average risk of CRC
   begin regular annual screening at age 45.
   
   However, you may need to be screened earlier if you have:
   • Inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis
   • Personal or family history of CRC or colorectal polyps
   • Certain genetic conditions4
   
   We encourage you to speak with your provider if you think you are at
   increased risk for CRC to discuss when to start screening, which test is
   right for you, and how often to get tested.


 * IS THE FIT TEST A GOOD ALTERNATIVE TO A COLONOSCOPY?
   
   If you are reluctant to get a screening colonoscopy but dedicated to
   protecting your health, annual screening with an at-home fecal immunochemical
   test (FIT) may be a good alternative for you.


 * WHAT WILL MY RESULTS TELL ME?
   
   While the Labcorp ColoFITTM Home Test can help detect cancer, it is not an
   official diagnosis. Speak to your healthcare provider as soon as possible if
   you receive a positive result. 
   
    
   
   Advanced colorectal cancers may not cause noticeable symptoms, which makes
   early screening even more critical. Bleeding, especially from polyps and
   tumors, is intermittent, so blood is not always present in all stool samples.
   Repeat testing can increase the chances of determining if blood is present
   from a reoccurring problem. FIT should be repeated at least once a year when
   used as a screening tool for colorectal cancer screening.

 * HOW DOES LABCORP ONDEMAND WORK?
   
   Visit the Labcorp OnDemand website to browse and purchase laboratory tests
   and create your Labcorp OnDemand account. All Labcorp OnDemand testing
   requires a healthcare provider order; for your convenience, Labcorp OnDemand
   has contracted with PWNHealth LLC and its affiliated professional entities
   (collectively, PWNHealth) to provide healthcare provider services. Visit a
   Labcorp location for sample collection; or, if using an at-home kit, collect
   your sample yourself. We’ll let you know when your results are ready to be
   accessed through your Labcorp OnDemand account or through your Labcorp
   Patient account. 


 * ARE MY TEST RESULTS PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL?
   
   Your results will be provided to you through our secure online portal to view
   or print. Results are also provided to PWNHealth, which provides professional
   healthcare provider services for OnDemand tests. If you are accessing your
   results through your Labcorp Patient account, all users linked to the account
   will have access to all OnDemand test results. Results may also be provided
   to a local, state, or federal health authority, but only when legally
   required. For example, many states require the testing laboratory and
   healthcare provider to report test results for certain communicable diseases,
   such as sexually transmitted diseases or COVID-19, to local or state health
   departments.  
   
    
   
   If you have questions or comments regarding the Labcorp Notice of Privacy
   Practices, or have a complaint about our use or disclosure of your PHI or our
   privacy practices, please contact: privacyofficer@labcorp.com, call us at
   (877) 234-4722 (877-23-HIPAA) and ask for the Labcorp HIPAA Privacy Officer,
   or send a written request to: HIPAA Privacy Officer, Labcorp, 531 South
   Spring Street, Burlington, NC 27215. You also may file a complaint with the
   Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.


 * HOW ACCURATE IS THIS TESTING?
   
   Your testing will be performed in a CLIA-certified clinical laboratory.
   Labcorp provides leading-edge medical laboratory tests and services through a
   national network of primary clinical laboratories and specialty testing
   laboratories. Our labs perform regular quality assurance testing to ensure
   our results are accurate.
   
    
   
   Because FIT explicitly detects the presence of blood, women should not take
   this test during or at the anticipated time of menstruation, as it may
   interfere with the accuracy of results. If you have an ongoing condition
   (such as diverticulitis or hemorrhoids) where blood can occasionally show up
   in the stool, this test may not be suitable for determining your risk of
   CRC. We encourage you to consult a healthcare provider to discuss which types
   of screening are recommended for you.
