| Screening tests for bowel or colorectal cancer include: - FOBT (faecal occult blood test) - this is when you are given a set of cards and asked to smear a part of your stool on three separate occasions onto the cards and then return the cards to be tested for blood. - Sigmoidoscopy - a tube is used to examine the lower bowel. This is usually done in a doctor's office without pain relief. - Colonoscopy - a long tube is used the examine the whole large bowel; you would usually have to drink a large amount of special liquid to prepare the bowel, and you would be given a sedative medication for the procedure. |
