$20 Colorectal Cancer Home Screening Kit
Because Renown understands the importance of early detection, Renown offers a low-cost and convenient screening kit for colon cancer that you can complete in the privacy of your own home. FIT stands for fecal immunochemical test. This screening detects cancers and polyps more successfully than older and more widely used stool-screening tests.  With your home screening kit, you will recieve everytying you need, including full instructions and a pre-paid return envelope.

Key patient benefits of the test include:

• Higher sensitivity resulting in fewer false readings
• More convenient for patients because it is easy to prepare and complete in the privacy of your own home
• No dietary restrictions required

Colon cancer has a 90 percent survival rate if caught early; with increased screening compliance, we can reduce cancer rates in the state.

About Colon Cancer
With regular screening, colorectal (or colon) cancer is one of the more easily detected and treatable cancers. The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) recently published updated guidelines for colorectal cancer screening. ACG recommends a colonoscopy every 10 years and an annual FIT screening as the preferred test for colorectal cancer screenings starting at age 50. African Americans should begin screenings at age 45. Patients with a family history should speak with their doctor about a different screening schedule.
