With 130,000 new cases of colorectal cancer and 56,000 deaths anticipated in 2,000, there is no room for embarrassment or silence about colorectal cancer. The fact is, safe and effective screening is available and the place to start is with a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT.) Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. So it is shocking that colorectal cancer is one of the easiest to detect and treat. More than 90 percent of patients whose colorectal cancer is caught early are cured.
EZ Detect is, a non-invasive, two-minute test for occult blood, which requires no dietary restrictions and no handling of stool. A user simply drops a test tissue into the toilet. A blue-green color will appear on the tissue within two minutes if blood is detected. The test is repeated for three consecutive bowel movements, with results recorded on a Test Results Card provided with the EZ Detect Kit. The person then mails the card to his or her physician or screening center for professional evaluation.
