What is a qFIT test?
A qFIT test looks for tiny amounts of blood in your stool that you can't see with the naked eye. It works by measuring specific proteins that are released when red blood cells break down in your bowel.
When is it used?
This test helps investigate symptoms that could potentially indicate bowel cancer, including:
- Changes in your bowel habits
- Blood in your stool
- Unexplained weight loss
- Abdominal pain or bloating
- Unusual tiredness (which might be caused by anaemia)
What you should know
While a qFIT test can't diagnose cancer by itself, it's an excellent first step to determine if you need further investigation. A negative result is particularly reassuring—it means there's a 99% chance your symptoms aren't caused by bowel cancer.
If your test shows an abnormal result (meaning blood is present), your GP will help decide what tests you might need next, considering your symptoms and risk factors.
An abnormal result could indicate various conditions ranging from minor issues like haemorrhoids to more serious conditions that need further investigation.
Screening without symptoms
If you're considering testing but don't have symptoms, particularly if you're under 45, it's worth having a conversation with your healthcare provider about whether screening makes sense for your situation.
