Convenient, Accurate, and At-Home: Detect Bowel Cancer Early with ColoAlert® Technology
Early detection is crucial for successfully treating bowel cancer, one of the most prevalent cancers in the UK. To aid in early detection, we offer our Bowel Cancer Screening Test, an at-home solution that can detect DNA changes and blood in the stool. This could indicate the presence of cancerous or precancerous growths in the bowel. Our screening test uses the ColoAlert® technology, an award-winning next-generation home screening test for colorectal cancer. It is specifically designed to detect changes in the bowel more accurately and at an earlier stage than the standard FIT test.
What it includes
- At-home testing kit
- Lab analysis and results sent via secure email
- Follow-up consultation with a GP
Why take a bowel cancer test
- Bowel cancer is a significant health concern in the UK, with 42,000 new cases annually, making it the fourth most common cancer.
- Shockingly, it is also the second leading cause of death, with 16,300 deaths each year.
- Late diagnosis and poor prognosis are common due to poor screening uptake, with 73% diagnosed at a later stage.
- Even those under 50 are at risk, with 10% of colorectal cancer cases diagnosed in younger people.

Bowel cancer screening is a test that aims to find cancer at an early stage when treatment is likely to be more effective. Early detection is vital. At least 9 out of 10 people will survive bowel cancer if it’s found and treated early.
The Bowel Cancer Screening Test, known as ColoAlert®, is a next-generation, award-winning home screening test for colorectal cancer. It is designed to detect changes in the bowel more accurately and earlier than the standard FIT test. It is recommended to take the test every three years starting at the age of 45.
You can purchase the test directly without seeing a doctor.
The Bowel Cancer Screening Test combines the traditional FIT test with advanced German-engineered stool DNA technology to detect blood and mutated DNA in the stool. This combination allows for the early detection of bowel cancer (colorectal cancer) before any symptoms or bleeding may occur.

No, our Bowel Cancer Screening Test is not intended for individuals experiencing bowel symptoms. If you are experiencing symptoms such as changes in bowel habits or rectal bleeding, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Our Bowel Cancer Screening Test checks for the following biomarkers:
- Blood in the stool (FIT) - detects hidden blood in the stool, which may indicate bowel cancer and can also be from more benign causes like Piles.
- Haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex (Hb-Hp) - detects hidden blood in stool and is more sensitive and superior than FIT alone as it is relatively stable during its transit through the bowels.
- Mutated KRAS gene in the stool - are found in bowel cancer and bowel polyps and are related to poor survival and increased tumour aggressiveness.
- Mutated BRAF gene in the stool - are found in bowel cancer and bowel polyps and are related to poor survival.
- Quantification of human (h)DNA determines the relative amounts of human DNA in the stool and is increased in bowel cancer samples.
