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?
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.
