A member asked:
Would a qfit of <10 safely exclude colorectal cancer even in the presence of elevated calprotectin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither of these is a test for colon cancer. FIT tests for bleeding in colon and calprotectin for inflammation in the intestine. You are at very low risk for colon cancer due to your young age.
