What benefits does this test offer me?
What benefits does this test offer me?
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide – and it often develops unnoticed over many years. In the early stages, colon cancer usually causes no symptoms, making early detection all the more important. With the colon cancer screening test , you can detect early signs and take timely action.
Some health insurance companies already offer this test as part of selective contracts . If your health insurance does not provide this option or you want to take preventive measures flexibly, our test is a reliable alternative for everyone.
The test measures:
- Occult (not visible) blood in the stool: Traces of blood in the stool can indicate changes such as colon polyps or other diseases. These early indications are crucial for a timely diagnosis.
Why is this test important?
Colon cancer usually develops from benign polyps that change over the years. If detected and removed early, the risk of developing colon cancer can be significantly reduced. Early detection greatly increases the chances of recovery – the earlier colon cancer is detected, the better the treatment outcomes.
Regular tests help you detect abnormalities in the colon early, so that further examinations can be conducted if necessary.
How does the test work?
The procedure is simple and discreet:
- You take a small stool sample using the provided test kit.
- The sample is securely packaged and sent to our certified laboratory.

- Blood in stool or dark-colored stool (may indicate hidden blood)
- Unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite
- Persistent abdominal pain, bloating, or cramps
- Fatigue or weakness (may indicate blood loss in the intestine)
Do health insurance companies offer this test?
