Graphic provided by OCO. FULTON Beginning last March, 2020, there was a temporary shutdown of some health services to limit the spread of COVID-19. According to an April 2020 report, this led to a 90% drop in colonoscopies in the U.S. During Colorectal Cancer Awareness month this March, the Cancer Services Program (CSP) of North Country wants to remind our community that screening can also be done safely at home using a stool-based test. “The Cancer Services Program has always used stool-based tests to screen average risk people for colorectal cancer,” said Carolyn Handville. “Stool-based tests, such as the Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), are safe and effective. The test is done once a year by sending a small amount of stool to a lab where it is checked for blood. If the test comes back abnormal, a colonoscopy is needed to find out if the blood is from cancer.”
