Avis At-Home CEA Tumor Marker Test (colorectal cancer)

Buy the test. It was easy to use and my results was accurate. I will do them once a year.

It is easy to use, fast results.

I made a mistake. While opening the sample collection bottle, I spilled the contents on floor. So couldn't perform the test. I am on Brillinta, hence this test is important. Will have to buy another. ouch.

Great

I like that this provides a convenient way to test, even as a preliminary action. The instructions were clear, and the process quite simple. It took a couple of minutes to get my result, but my second line was so, very barely visible ? I'm not sure how to interpret that. I wish the instructions were a little clearer, which is why I gave it 4/5 stars instead of 5/5.I might have to repeat to be sure.

My doctor prescribed a FOBT or FIT test and gave me a name of a well known on they supposedly recommend all the time. The problem? 500$. And they effectively do the same, they make you take a few stool samples and then run it through a reactive substance. I haven't found anything as price effective and convenient as this.I do recommend you buy more than one: at least two or 3 so that you can do the test over a few days. This makes it similar to what the labs do as they want you to take samples from 2 or 3 stools.So if you get 2 and two out of 2 give you the same result over different stool samples then you have a high degree of certainty / low error margin. It's worth the peace of mind.Here is the gross part: you'll be pooping on a piece of waterproofed paper that you stick across the toilet lid so you can catch the sample.Your stool should not be in touch with the toilet water of urine hence the catch paper that they include.Once caught you have a tube with a sample pin that you stick in 5 different places in the stool sample and then reinsert in the tube which is liquid/water filled.You shake. You then open the other side of the tilibe which is a dropper and drip and drop onto a reactive tab that they include as well. Wait one minute. There is your positive or negative result. Very easy. Very nasty but hey if it can safe your life then why not.I can't say anything negative about this test as it led me to believe that a colonoscopy is overkill for me despite the doctor saying people my age should have one. Not with a 2700$ copay I if there are no red flags I think. To each their own, but for now this gave me piece of mind. And for a great price.

Good product easy to use.

Did it for routine colon test. Was having irregular bowel movements. Took this to be safe. Compared this to another brand. Both, luckily were negative.

Works as advertised and is easier to use than the tests I got from my doctor. However, there are cheaper options that work just as well.

$20 peace of mind but no substitute for colonoscopy

ColoTest was very easy to use and provided quick results.

Easy to use

Worked as described. Easy to follow instructions.

Follow directions. Test results in minutes. Works as advertised.

Easy test to check for blood. If you have concerns you should reach out to your health care processional. I was using an iron supplement and it turned my stool black. I was glad to have the test to confirm no blood. I found this test useful.

This fecal blood test is pretty easy to use. Just be sure to read over the instructions carefully beforehand.

Direct instructions. The comfort and security it provides is perfect for the price.

This test to determine if there is blood in your stool works just as well as the tests I have used previously while working in the emergency room. They are easy to use and generally quite accurate so long as you have not eaten red dye or beets in the past few days, per the instructions from my old boss. The methodology appears to be the same with this test. I was able to use a lancet to add blood to my sample and it was detected. I would expect that a real sample with blood would provide the same results.

Colon cancer is on the rise for adults in their 30s and 40s. This test can give you peace of mind without scheduling a colonoscopy every year before the age your insurance will cover it. It is easy and clean to use. You get results fairly quickly. Simple instructions. I would recommend to all my middle-aged family and friends!

I tested it and it delivered result very quickly. I had to put in more than the stated amount for the strip to start the reaction though. Overall it's a cheap fast solution to put your mind at ease.
