Colotect package - genetic test for colon cancer with medical consultation

What is the Colotect Package with a Medical Consultation?

The package includes a consultation with an internist along with the Colotect test. Colotect is a simple, fast, and safe epigenetic test that detects cancerous changes in the colon. Due to its high sensitivity, the test can detect colorectal cancer at an early stage, before the tumor becomes dangerous. Colotect analyzes 3 genes associated with the development of colorectal cancer: SDC2, ADHFE1, and PPP2R5C.

Who is the Test for?

The Colotect test is for individuals who:

• Are under 50 years old and do not qualify for a colonoscopy but have risk factors for colorectal cancer (e.g., polyps in the colon, inflammatory bowel diseases, a family history of colorectal cancer),
• Have contraindications for colonoscopy,
• Have difficulty tolerating colonoscopy or are afraid of the procedure.

How to Prepare for the Test?
