> What is Colox® ?
Colox® is an easy and efficient blood test for the detection of colorectal tumours and adenomatous polyps. Colox® is a screening test which identifies the high-risk cases of colorectal cancer and directs patients to a colonoscopy diagnosis when needed.
> How does Colox® work ?
Colox® is a molecular test which combines 29 RNA biomarkers with 2 protein tumor markers to give a positive or negative result. RNA markers, changed during the initial stages of the development of a lesion, allow for its early detection. The 2 proteins ensure its specificity. The variation of these biomarkers can signify the presence of a colorectal tumor which will be confirmed thanks to a colonoscopy.
