Faecal Occult Blood Test
$49 AUD
Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer globally, with 1 in 13 Australians developing the disease in their lifetime. Early detection is crucial, as 90% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated when identified early.
We’ve combined the FOBT (Faecal Occult Blood Test) and Calprotectin in this bowel screen to provide a more comprehensive assessment of bowel health. While FOBT helps detect hidden blood that may signal polyps, cancer, or other lesions, Calprotectin measures gut inflammation, which can indicate conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Together, these tests give a clearer picture of what’s happening in the bowel and can help guide whether further investigation may be warranted.
