Colorectal Cancer Screening (Blood) Test

Colorectal cancer (CRC) refers to cancer of the colon and the rectum. It is one of the most common causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. In recent years, CRC diagnosis rates have been increasing in younger populations as well (people younger than 50 years of age).

Typically, colorectal cancer does not present noticeable symptoms in the early stages. This is why timely screening for colorectal cancer is essential; when found early, CRC is more easily treatable. Despite the importance of this, many people are not up-to-date with their colorectal cancer screenings. This can be due to many reasons- financial constraints, time issues, concerns about invasive procedures, not wanting to handle stool, and more. 

Now, Any Lab Test Now is excited to offer an easy blood-based test to help screen for colorectal cancer. This test uses 5 DNA methylation markers to look for the possible presence of colorectal cancer. All it takes is a simple blood draw. Once you receive your results, you can take them to your healthcare provider who can help guide you through the next steps. This test is not limited to people over the age of 45- it can be performed for all adults.

Please note that the Colorectal Cancer Screen (Blood) test is not intended to replace a colonoscopy. It is meant to be used as a screening tool for the early detection of colorectal cancer. Based on the results of your test, a colonoscopy may still be recommended. We recommend that you work with a trusted healthcare provider to discuss the colorectal cancer screening options that are best for you.

*This screening test does not detect all colorectal cancers and precursor lesions (e.g. advanced adenomas), nor other cancer types. It does not replace other CRC screening tests recommended by a healthcare provider. A negative test result does not rule out the presence of CRC or reduce CRC risk in a high-risk individual. A positive test result does not establish a clinical diagnosis of CRC.

Different health insurance plans will have different policies regarding colorectal cancer screening coverage.

They should also confirm how much (if anything) they may be required to pay for it.
