A member asked:
Good afternoon doctors. if i had a fecal occult blood test and it comes back negative, does this rule out chances of having colon cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The chances of not having cancer are high in this circumstance- but there is a false negative and false positive for this test. So pl be guided by your doc
