COLOALERT® — Home Bowel Cancer Screening Test

What COLOALERT® Detects

COLOALERT is an advanced at-home screening test that detects early signs of bowel (colorectal) cancer by analysing tumour DNA and blood markers in your stool sample. It can identify cancer at an early, more treatable stage — often before any symptoms appear.

Why COLOALERT Is Different

Most standard at-home bowel tests only detect blood. COLOALERT goes further by analysing two genetic markers (KRAS mutations and methylation patterns) alongside haemoglobin. This dual approach significantly improves early detection compared to traditional FIT tests.

Who Should Take This Test

• Adults aged 40+ as part of routine health screening
• Anyone with a family history of bowel or colorectal cancer
• People experiencing digestive concerns or changes in bowel habits
• Those who want peace of mind between NHS screening intervals

Product FAQ

Is COLOALERT a replacement for a colonoscopy?

No. COLOALERT is a screening tool. If your result is positive, your GP will likely recommend a colonoscopy for confirmation.

How accurate is it?

COLOALERT has shown significantly higher sensitivity for detecting early-stage bowel cancer compared to standard FIT tests. Full sensitivity and specificity data is provided with your kit.

Do I need to follow a special diet before the test?

No dietary restrictions are needed.

What if I'm currently menstruating or have haemorrhoids?

We recommend waiting until any active bleeding has stopped before collecting your sample, as it may affect results.

How will I receive my results?

Results are delivered via email securely to you, with a clear summary you can share with your GP.

What if my result is positive?

A positive result doesn't mean you have cancer — it means further investigation is recommended. Our team will guide you on next steps.

Is the test discreet?

Yes. The kit arrives in plain, unbranded packaging. No one will know what's inside.

Can I claim this on private health insurance?

Some private insurers will reimburse home screening tests. Contact your provider before purchase.
