Stool Occult Blood Test

The Stool Occult Blood Test, also known as the fecal occult blood test (FOBT), is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of hidden (occult) blood in the stool. This test is important in the early detection of colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal conditions such as ulcers, polyps, and inflammatory bowel disease.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment. The presence of blood in the stool may indicate the presence of a tumor or other abnormal growth in the colon or rectum. By detecting occult blood in the stool, this test can help identify individuals who may need further diagnostic testing such as a colonoscopy.

It is recommended that individuals over the age of 50, or those with a family history of colorectal cancer, undergo regular screening with the Stool Occult Blood Test. Early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer can significantly improve outcomes and increase survival rates.
