#FecalImmunochemicalTest (FIT) detects blood in the stool, which may indicate the presence of a #tumor. DNA stool tests also detect abnormal DNA in stool that may indicate #cancerous cells. Positive tests must be followed by a #colonoscopy and should be done every 1-2 years.

A #colonoscopy is a procedure that detects #cancer and abnormalities in the large intestinal tract. People 45 years and older should undergo this screening every 10 years. #HispanicHealth #moonshotinititative #cancerscreening #colorectalcancer @NIHgov @AmericanCancerSociety
