As the name implies, an at-home colon cancer test takes place in the comfort of your home without a doctor present. The test looks for abnormal cells or blood present in a sample of your stool. It’s a hands-on task and not for the squeamish. At-home screening options can be good detection tools, but a colonoscopy remains the gold standard.

Eating a healthy diet and getting enough exercise can both significantly lessen your risk of colon cancer. And it’s also important to know when to get screened for this disease. Because your risk increases as you age, current guidelines say you should first get screened at age 45. But if you have a family history of colorectal cancer, ask your healthcare provider about being screened sooner.

Colon polyps are growths on the inside lining of your colon. Polyps are tumors that grow out of the mucous lining inside your hollow organs. Colon polyps are common, and many are harmless. But some types can grow into cancer if they aren’t removed. This is why healthcare providers look for polyps in your colon during a colonoscopy. While polyps aren’t cancer, almost all colorectal cancer starts from a polyp. Most colon polyps, and many colorectal cancers, won’t cause any symptoms. This is why screening — testing for diseases before you have symptoms — is so important.
