Like the national campaign, the goal is to reduce mortality through screening. However, some people are not inclined to carry out the test of the national campaign, the test being to recover at his general practitioner, to realize at home, then to return by postal way. In addition, 60% of the hemoglobin is destroyed after 72 hours at room temperature1. Finally, in the summer, for example, the temperature in the mail boxes increases considerably, the laboratory thus receives a sample where the hemoglobin has possibly been destroyed. The MEDISUR test gives an immediate result.
In addition, polyps, in most cases of early diagnosed diseases, have been shown to bleed only intermittently. The MEDISUR test allows 3 samples to be taken to increase the probability of detecting any bleeding. Stool samples should therefore be collected over 3 consecutive days to ensure a safer diagnosis for the patient.
