Stay ahead of your Behind Pt 4 FECAL DNA TEST (Cologuard)

Episode Summary

On December 23, 2004, the New England Journal reported a breakthrough new colorectal cancer test: Fecal DNA. It was a breakthrough...somewhat. It improved sensitivity by more than 400%. But that was only from 12.9% to 51% Unfortunately, sensitivity is still a major problem. Here's the problem; if the colorectal cancer is not bleeding or shedding DNA, you miss it with these home tests.
