What Is a Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)?

FOBT is a simple, non-invasive test that detects hidden blood in stool, which may indicate gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps, ulcers, or early signs of colorectal cancer. Early detection can save lives through timely evaluation and treatment.

What We Review During Your FOBT Consultation:
  • Personal and family gastrointestinal history
  • Dietary and medication factors that may affect results
  • Instructions for proper stool sample collection
  • Review of results and recommended next steps
  • Guidance on follow-up screenings or diagnostics if positive
