Cologuard Plus® is a noninvasive, at-home screening test that helps detect signs of colorectal cancer. It is designed for adults 45 and older who are at average risk for colorectal cancer.
With Cologuard Plus, you can collect a stool sample in the privacy and comfort of your own home—without special preparation, dietary restrictions, or changes to your medications.
The test looks for certain DNA markers and hidden blood in your stool that may indicate colorectal cancer or precancerous growths.
Why choose Cologuard Plus?
- Convenient: Complete the test at home, on your schedule.
- Easy to use: Follow the step-by-step instructions included with your kit.
- No special preparation: No bowel preparation or dietary restrictions required.
- Noninvasive: No procedure or sedation is needed to collect your sample.
Talk to your Marin Community Clinics care team to find out whether Cologuard Plus is the right screening option for you.
Important: Cologuard Plus is a screening test, not a diagnosis. A positive result requires a follow-up colonoscopy. It is not intended for people at high risk for colorectal cancer and does not replace a colonoscopy when one is recommended.
