  • Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and fecal immunochemical test (FIT) – These non-invasive tests can detect blood in the stool. This may be a sign of colorectal cancer and requires a follow-up test, such as a colonoscopy.
  • flexible sigmoidoscopy – This screening test is similar to a colonoscopy, but only examines the lower part of the colon. Sigmoidoscopy helps detect polyps and tumors in the rectum and sigmoid colon.
