IS THE COLOGUARD® TEST RIGHT FOR YOU?

45+ is the magic number

As we age, our risk for colon cancer increases5. This is why we’ve created the Cologuard test — to detect colon cancer early, which is when we can have the most impact.

For adults 45 and older at average risk, it’s a noninvasive, safe, and convenient screening kit. You collect your sample at home and ship it back to our lab for testing. Learn more about how the Cologuard test works, and if it’s right for you.

Regardless of your family history or gender, you should get screened:

  • Even if you don’t have symptoms1,2
  • If you’re 45 years old or older3
  • If you’re Black or Hispanic American (as your risk is higher than normal)
