How Cologuard works
Cologuard detects altered DNA and hidden blood that colorectal cancers and advanced precancerous polyps shed into stool. The kit ships to your home, collection takes minutes, and the prepaid box returns to the lab — with results reviewed through the clinic rather than a portal shrug.
It is approved for adults 45 and older at average risk. A positive result means one thing: a diagnostic colonoscopy to look directly — which the clinic helps arrange promptly.
Cologuard vs. colonoscopy, honestly
- Cologuard — non-invasive, at home, no prep; repeat every 3 years
- Colonoscopy — the gold standard; finds and removes polyps in one procedure
- Average risk + screening avoidance → Cologuard beats not screening
- Symptoms, family history, or positive Cologuard → colonoscopy, full stop
Frequently Asked Questions
Who should use Cologuard?
Average-risk adults 45+ without symptoms or strong family history — screening candidacy is confirmed at your visit.
Is Cologuard as good as a colonoscopy?
It detects most cancers well but is a screen, not a scope: positives need colonoscopy follow-up, and higher-risk patients should go straight to colonoscopy.
