The Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) is a non-invasive screening tool for colorectal cancer that detects hidden (occult) blood in stool samples. Unlike older guaiac-based tests, FIT specifically targets human hemoglobin, reducing false positives from diet or medications. The American Cancer Society recommends annual FIT testing as an acceptable alternative to colonoscopy for average-risk individuals aged 45 and older. A positive result warrants follow-up with a diagnostic colonoscopy.
Fecal Immunochemical Test — at-home stool sample that detects hidden blood from colon polyps and early colorectal cancer. USPSTF-recommended annual screening alternative to colonoscopy.
Average-risk adults 45-75 (annually) per USPSTF. Anyone who declines or postpones colonoscopy. Anyone post-polypectomy needing interval surveillance. Not appropriate if you have IBD or known CRC risk requiring direct visualization.
