Colon Cancer Screening at Home? Here’s How Cologuard Works!

What is Cologuard and how does it work?
Cologuard is an FDA-approved, non-invasive at-home stool DNA test used to screen for colon cancer and precancerous polyps. In this video, I break down how Cologuard works, who should use it, how accurate it is, and when you still need a colonoscopy.

You’ll learn:
• What Cologuard checks for (DNA + blood)
• Who qualifies for the test
• How often to repeat it
• Why a positive test requires colonoscopy
• Pros and cons of at-home screening
• Whether Cologuard is right for you

If you're between ages 45–75, this info is essential for early cancer detection.
