The original guaiac FOBT is a crude screening tool for colon cancer and never used for diagnosis in the strict meaning of the term (it’s somewhat sensitive and not at all specific).
It’s also confused these days with the more sensitive and specific FIT test. FOBT has no relevance in modern medicine.
