Description

The number of men and women diagnosed with colorectal cancer is rapidly increasing, with the death rate for women ranking first and men ranking third among all cancer deaths.

Early detection of colorectal cancer is important. However, since there are no subjective symptoms in the early stages, and in many cases the cancer has progressed to a more advanced stage by the time symptoms appear, the first step is to undergo a simple "fecal occult blood test". Colorectal cancer or polyps may cause a small amount of blood to adhere invisibly to the stool. Colorectal cancer screening using the 2-day fecal occult blood test is designed to detect colorectal cancer at an early stage by testing for the presence of blood on the surface of the stool.


Early detection has a favorable prognosis, and screening is the only means for early detection; after the age of 40, patients should undergo annual colorectal cancer screening. If this examination reveals positive fecal occult blood, it is necessary to undergo colonoscopy. Treatment methods for colorectal cancer are advancing, and if detected early, endoscopic treatment is curing the disease completely.
