The screening kits are for use in the privacy of your own home and are simple to use.   
            Individuals 50 years of age and over and those who have a personal or family history of lower intestinal disorders, colorectal cancers, or other cancers should perform this test at least once a year.  The test is not a substitute for a regular physical examination by your physician, but may indicate the need for one.
