Fecal DNA screen

Postby Magnolia » Mon May 07, 2007 10:31 pm

I've been hearing about a fecal DNA test that is on the market now. Any idea why we're not using it? Colonoscopy carries a risk of bowel perforation which is one reason why it can't be used on every healthy asymptomatic individual with no risk factors, even though a few of those people may actually have CC. Fecal DNA testing can be used on anyone.
