who test positive with Colo-Check, the presence of cancer must be confirmed by colonoscopy.<\/strong>\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n

analyzed together, has reached <strong>90.6% sensitivity<\/strong> and <strong>95.0% specificity<\/strong> values.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n

One of Colo-Check\u2019s strengths is its early-stage performance. The test offers high detection power by demonstrating approximately <strong>90% sensitivity<\/strong> and <strong>90% specificity<\/strong> even in Stage I and II tumors.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n            <details class=\"cc-faq-item\">\r\n              <summary>\r\n                Is colonoscopy preparation required for the test?\r\n                <span class=\"cc-faq-plus\"><\/span>\r\n              <\/summary>\r\n              <div class=\"cc-faq-answer\">\r\n                <p>\r\n                  No. Colo-Check is a non-invasive test. It does not require mandatory bowel preparation, challenging dietary restrictions, or sedation. Samples can be collected through a more comfortable process for the patient.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n            <details class=\"cc-faq-item\">\r\n              <summary>\r\n                How is it different from the FIT\/FOBT test?\r\n                <span class=\"cc-faq-plus\"><\/span>\r\n              <\/summary>\r\n              <div class=\"cc-faq-answer\">\r\n                <p>\r\n                  Traditional FIT tests detect hidden blood in stool. Colo-Check, on the other hand, aims to track not only signs of bleeding but also cancer-specific molecular traces by targeting epigenetic changes.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n            <details class=\"cc-faq-item\">\r\n              <summary>\r\n                Which samples are required for the test?\r\n                <span class=\"cc-faq-plus\"><\/span>\r\n              <\/summary>\r\n              <div class=\"cc-faq-answer\">\r\n                <p>\r\n                  For the highest accuracy rate, simultaneous analysis of both <strong>stool<\/strong> and <strong>serum<\/strong> samples collected from the same patient is recommended. The system also has flexible panels that can work with stool-only or serum-only samples.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n            <details class=\"cc-faq-item\">\r\n              <summary>\r\n                Who should take this test?\r\n                <span class=\"cc-faq-plus\"><\/span>\r\n              <\/summary>\r\n              <div class=\"cc-faq-answer\">\r\n                <p>\r\n                  Colo-Check may be considered for screening purposes, especially for individuals over the age of 50 and high-risk individuals with a family history of colorectal cancer. A physician\u2019s opinion should be obtained for personal risk status.\r\n                <\/p>\r\n              <\/div>\r\n            <\/details>\r\n\r\n            <details class=\"cc-faq-item\">\r\n              <summary>\r\n                What are the shelf life and storage conditions of the kit?\r\n                <span class=\"cc-faq-plus\"><\/span>\r\n              <\/summary>\r\n              <div class=\"cc-faq-answer\">\r\n                <p>\r\n                  The shelf life of the kit is 12 months from the date of manufacture.
