The Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) is a critical, non-invasive screening tool for your colon health. "Occult" means hidden. This test is designed to detect microscopic amounts of blood in your stool that you cannot see. This is one of the earliest and most important warning signs for pre-cancerous polyps or colorectal cancer. The test is simple and done in the privacy of your home with a take-home kit. Early detection is everything. This is a routine, life-saving screening that all adults over 45 should perform. It provides the essential, early warning you need to take proactive control of your health.
