Specializes in Medical Oncology

Limited usefulness: This is a home kit to detect blood in stool. However, except for its convenience there is no advantage as it is a lesser sensitive assay compared to current state of art technology "fecal immunochemical testing" for blood. I am aware of only limited comparative data and it is not very supportive of ezd being comparable to clinical testing.
