FIT and FOBT are common screening tools for colorectal cancer
But some misperceptions exist, which I will talk about in this video

Very informative, thank you.

Thank you so much. My stool sample tested positive for occult blood. I hoped to have the test again and if negative this time I’ll forget about it. So thank you for explaining the importance of not doing that. I get it. 🙏🏾

no , it does not work like this. Any one +ve, even if repeat is -ve, warrants a consultation and most likely endoscopic examination

Can eating ground hamburger everyday before taking a test cause a false positive?

@kaylaisler5647 4 месяца назад

On a FOBT, yes. Excess myoglobin (hemoglobins cousin that lives in muscle tissues) will make a FOBT give a false result, as well as many other oxidative agents.

@drdesmondwaigastro4833 4 месяца назад

Yes, the old FOBT may have false results by eating red meat so one needed dietary restriction in the past. But the new FIT is more accurate

@drdesmondwaigastro4833 4 месяца назад

FOBT yes, so most of us will use FIT instead
