Bowel / Colorectal Cancer Screening Test
SYNLAB’s Faecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) is a bowel / colorectal cancer screening test. FIT is a sensitive screening test which selectively detects the human globin-protein in stool, making it specific to colonic blood loss.
- Bowel cancer is the UK’s 4th most common cancer, and the 2nd biggest cancer killer*
- Bowel cancer is treatable – early diagnosis saves lives*
- Non invasive home test kit – only 1 stool sample needed
- Samples sent directly by patient to the laboratory

SYNLAB’s FIT kits include everything a patient needs to do the screening test in the privacy of their own home.
