Home test may help save many colorectal patients
The home stool test may significantly contribute to reducing mortality from colon and rectal cancer, according to a recent study conducted by a surgeon and senior consultant at the Karolinska Institute. The results showed that participation in regular screenings decreases the risk of death, especially with modern facilitative methods that have increased participation through immunochemical fecal tests based on antibodies, making it easier and more motivating for individuals to undergo regular screening. Although the test is free and easy to perform, one-third of people do not repeat it, highlighting the importance of raising awareness and improving access to reduce deaths related to colon cancer.
