What is Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)?

The Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) is a simple stool test that detects hidden (occult) blood in your stool. It specifically looks for human blood, which might not be visible to the naked eye.

Why is this test important?

FIT is primarily used for screening colorectal cancer and polyps, as these conditions can cause bleeding in the lower digestive tract. Early detection through FIT can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

How to Prepare

No special dietary restrictions are typically required before this test. Follow the collection instructions carefully.
