> What is the procedure if I want to get screened with Colox®?
First, you have to go to your doctor’s office to talk to him about the test and to know if Colox is recommended for you. Then, a blood sample is taken by the doctor or directly at the laboratory. The laboratory will analyse the sample and then your results will be sent to your doctor. You can also contact Novigenix for more information.
> Are there special recommendations before performing the Colox® test?
One of the advantages of Colox is that it does not require any special preparation. However, it is recommended you don’t smoke for 12 hours before the blood test. Some drugs can also influence the results. Ask your doctor for advice.
> Should I do a colonoscopy too?
Yes, if the result of the test is positive. A colonoscopy is the gold standard for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and adenomatous polyps. Moreover, a colonoscopy allows for a direct resection of polyps to thus prevent them from developing into cancer.
