  • Can I use a colon cancer at-home test instead of a colonoscopy?

    The colon cancer at-home test is a non-invasive, at-home screening tool for colorectal cancer. It is effective for individuals at average risk of colon cancer. However, it is not a replacement for a colonoscopy. If the colon cancer at-home test returns a positive result, a colonoscopy is recommended as the next step. Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for diagnosing colorectal cancer and other conditions.

  • Why is a colonoscopy recommended after a positive Cologuard test?

    A positive colon cancer at-home test indicates the possible presence of colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps. A colonoscopy is necessary to visually inspect the colon and rectum and to perform biopsies or remove polyps if needed. It provides a more definitive diagnosis.

  • Who should not rely solely on a Cologuard test?

    The colon cancer at-home test is not recommended for everyone. Individuals with a personal history of polyps, family history of colon cancer, or symptoms such as changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, abdominal discomfort, persistent gas or pain, incomplete bowel movements, unexplained weakness or fatigue, and unintended weight loss should consult their healthcare provider about the appropriate screening method, which may include a direct colonoscopy.

  • What are the limitations of the colon cancer at-home test?

    While the colon cancer at-home test is convenient and non-invasive, it has limitations. It may not detect all cancers or precancerous polyps. A negative result does not guarantee the absence of colorectal cancer. Additionally, false positives and false negatives can occur.

  • What should I do if I have symptoms but a negative colon cancer at-home test?

    If you have symptoms associated with colorectal cancer or other digestive diseases, it's important to consult a healthcare provider regardless of the colon cancer at-home test result. Symptoms like rectal bleeding, persistent abdominal discomfort, and unexplained weight loss should be evaluated promptly, as they may indicate conditions that require treatment beyond what a screening test can provide.

  • How much is a colonoscopy?

    The cost of a colonoscopy can vary depending on your insurance coverage, but for uninsured patients, it usually ranges from $1,000 to $3,000. We recommend that you contact our office for more specific pricing details based on your situation.

  • How long does a colonoscopy take?

    A colonoscopy typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, but plan for additional time for preparation and recovery at the facility.
