When it comes to colorectal cancer screening, you may have options. A colonoscopy allows your provider to look directly inside the colon and remove polyps during the procedure, while Cologuard is a non-invasive, at-home stool test that looks for signs of abnormal DNA and blood that may be associated with precancerous polyps or colorectal cancer.
Cologuard can be a convenient option for people who want to avoid the preparation and procedure involved with a colonoscopy. But remember: if Cologuard comes back positive, a follow-up colonoscopy is still needed.
The most important thing is not to skip your screening. Early detection can make a meaningful difference in your health, and the best screening option depends on your age, risk factors, medical history, and personal circumstances.
