Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world. The appearance of fecal occult blood is often the first, if not the only, indicator associated with colorectal cancer and polyps. Other gastrointestinal disorders such as diverticulitis, Crohn’s disease, colitis ulcer, etc. may also be associated with the presence of fecal occult blood. There are two different types of FOB tests available, the traditional guaiac FOB test and antibody based immunological FOB test. The traditional guaiac FOB tests do not provide a high degree of accuracy. Immunological FOB tests are more accurate and do not require special dietary restrictions prior to the test sample collection.
