OC-AUTO® FIT

Improving colorectal cancer screening saves lives

Listen to Gladys’ heartfelt story about the life-saving power of OC-Auto FIT

When Gladys screened with OC-Auto FIT following an annual checkup, she never expected that it would lead to a diagnosis of colon cancer—the same cancer her late husband had suffered from. Watch the video to see why it’s crucial for average-risk* patients over 45 to get screened yearly with OC-Auto FIT.

Watch now

Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the second-highest death rate among cancers. If detected at an early stage, 90% of all CRC deaths are preventable, but over 30% of adults ages 50-75 are not getting screened as recommended.1,2

Tier 1 recommendations support annual FIT screening for 45–75 year olds3,4,5

To improve patient outcomes for average-risk adults, the US Preventive Services Task Force, American College of Gastroenterology, and the US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer guidelines recommend3,4,5

Annual FIT

Colonoscopy every 10 years

Based on the new guidelines, nearly 100 million US adults should be screened annually.

Advancing CRC screening is critical. Choosing a CRC screening solution is simple

The only Tier 1, guideline-recommended FIT backed by proven clinical outcomes3,6

  • The #1 automated noninvasive CRC screening tool in the world7
  • Excellent sensitivity and specificity
