A member asked:

Why can't we get more than binary (+ or -) results from cologuard test. if +, we want to know specific dna &/or hemoccult+. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Biopsy: Removal of suspect tissue and examination by a pathologist is the only way to get a definitive answer. Cologuard facilitates selection of patients who should undergo colonoscopy. It does not diagnose colon cancer.
