Annual testing for colorectal disease in high risk patients and all individuals over 40 years old is recommended by the American Cancer Society, the American Gastroenterological Association, and the American College of Gastroenterology.
In just two minutes, EZ Detect™ identifies hidden blood in the stool, which can be an early warning sign of colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer, which affects men and women equally, is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Caught early, colorectal cancer is 90 percent curable. Unfortunately, only 37 percent of all colorectal cancers are detected at an early stage.
The presence of blood in the stool is one of the earliest symptoms of many lower gastrointestinal disorders including colorectal cancer. EZ DETECT™ is effective in identifying the presence of occult (hidden) blood in the stool caused by bleeding in the colorectal area. Once hidden blood is detected, a medical check-up is recommended. The EZ DETECT™ stool blood test provides the public a simple, cost-effective, and convenient test that can be done in the privacy of the home.
