A Test Affecting Every Man’s Life Will Soon Be on the Market
- ksaj 6y agoIn Canada (at least in the province of Ontario) we use something called the FIT Kit, which is a through-the-mail stool sampling method. Men get it for free when they turn 50. But it has a shortcoming (as does its competing non-invasive method) that it can't differentiate blood from a polyp vs blood from hemorrhoids etc. So it can be prone to false positives if you have any of those conditions. This urine test, which looks for a specific rna signature, probably doesn't have that flaw, and could probably be done through the mail like FIT.
