Consider a FIT kit for patients at average risk for colon cancer

The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit testing for all adults aged 45 and older with average risk for colon cancer. For these patients, the FIT kit is a convenient, cost effective, and discreet testing option.^{1, 2}

FIT kits offer a cost effective, highly accurate option for colorectal cancer screening

Screening with FIT kits is convenient and easier than ever. Adopting FIT screening into your practice can help increase patient adherence to colon cancer screening recommendations. Annual FIT improves screening rates and has also been shown to save lives.³
