DNA Stool Test for Colon Cancer-Mayo Clinic

[EkAks]

Is this test available yet?

[Docx30]

It' isn't up to doctors to accept medical insurance. Yes insurance companies will welcome this after FDA approval. And NO, this test will not replace Colonoscopy. If positive from DNA testing through Exact Sciences Corp. (EXAS) you will still need a colo to remove the polyp. It is the gold standard for screening.

Will the doctors accept our medical insurance for this screening test

how many GI doctors will commit sucide after this test replace colonoscopy ?

[monmon68]

doctors ignore this for more money in colonoscopy

[PrivateSlacker]

It can't replace colonoscopy.

There will be cancers that don't contain the searched for sequences.
