Hi dr. is there a simple way to check colon cancer at home?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: You may get a FIT test or Cologuard test, You can collect a stool sample at home and send it for testing. Your doctor can provide a prescription. A colonoscopy is the best way to detect colon cancer.
