Cologuard®

A non-invasive stool DNA Test that identifies biomarkers associated
with precancerous polyps and early-stage colorectal cancer.

What is cologuard?

Cologuard is an easy noninvasive colon cancer screening test that can be used at home. The advanced DNA test was FDA approved in 2014 after the most extensive study ever conducted and was quickly approved by Medicare, and was put on American Cancer Societies list of approved colorectal cancer screening tests. The test is recommended every 3 years.

Here’s why Cologuard might be a good option for you:

Convenience: Cologuard is a convenient at-home test. You receive a kit in the mail, collect a stool sample following the instructions, and mail it back for analysis.
Non-invasive: There’s no need for special preparation or procedures like colonoscopy prep.
Effective: Cologuard detects both abnormal DNA and hidden blood in the stool, offering high accuracy in identifying potential colon cancer risks.

Who Should Consider Cologuard?

Cologuard is generally recommended for average-risk individuals starting at age 45. However, some factors might warrant earlier screening or alternative tests. Discuss your risk factors with your doctor to determine if Cologuard is suitable for you. Here are some considerations:

Age: The risk of CRC increases significantly after age 45.
Family History: Having a close relative with CRC increases your risk.
Lifestyle Factors: A diet high in red meat, processed foods, and low in fiber, coupled with a lack of physical activity, can contribute to an increased risk.
Personal History: Previous inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease) might necessitate earlier screening.

Does Cologuard make sense for me?

If you are 50 years of age or older at average risk, or if you’ve been avoiding screening, you can use Cologuard as a noninvasive option.
There is no bowel prep required, no direct risk to the colon and no pre-test diet changes required.

That being said, Cologuard is not for everyone. It is not a replacement for diagnostic or surveillance colonoscopy in patients at high risk for colorectal cancer.

Who is Cologuard Right For?

If you are 45 and older and at average risk for colon cancer, Cologuard may be right for you. Cologuard is not for everyone. It is not a replacement for diagnostic or surveillance colonoscopy in high risk individuals.

It may not be right for you if:

You have a personal history of colon cancer, polyps, or other related cancers
You have a family history of colon cancer (one or more relatives diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer before the age of 60, or two or more first degree relatives diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer of any age)
You have had a positive result from another screening method in the last six months
You have been diagnosed with a condition that places you at high risk for colon cancer. These include but are not limited to: Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chronic ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, Familial adenomatous polyposis
You have been diagnosed with a relevant cancer syndrome passed on from your family, such as Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome, MYH-Associated Polyposis, Gardner’s syndrome, Turcot’s (or Crail’s) syndrome, Cowden’s syndrome, Juvenile Polyposis, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, Neurofibromatosis, or Familial Hyperplastic Polyposis
Results should be interpreted with caution for individuals over age 75, as the rate of false positives increases with age

What does the result on a Cologuard mean?

The Cologuard is a binary test. You will either receive a Negative or Positive result.

Positive Result : A positive result means that there is a high chance of Colorectal Cancer or precancer being present. You will be asked to follow up with a diagnostic colonoscopy.
Negative Result : Following a negative result, patients should continue participating in a screening program at an interval and with a method appropriate for the individual patient.

Do I need a referral or PCP to order the Cologuard?

Yes. Cologuard can only be ordered with a physician referral. You will need to provide either a referral or your providers information.
