   Are bowel cancer screening tests reliable?

   • No screening test is 100% reliable. Bowel cancer screening could miss a polyp or cancer. This could happen if the polyp or cancer was not bleeding when you used the home test kit. Most people will not need further tests. If you do, there’s a small risk that having a colonoscopy could damage your bowel, but this is rare.

   How does bowel cancer screening work?

   • Your invitation will give you information about bowel cancer screening. We’ll send you a home test kit, called a faecal immunochemical test (FIT). You use this kit to collect a small sample of poo and send it to a lab. The lab checks the sample for tiny amounts of blood. This is because polyps and bowel cancers sometimes bleed.
