iFOBT
What is it all about?
The immunological faecal occult blood test (iFOBT) is an advanced method for detecting the presence of hidden blood in faeces, a key indicator of colorectal cancer. Unlike traditional blood tests, iFOBT uses specific antibodies to accurately identify human haemoglobin, increasing accuracy and reducing the risk of false positives.
This test is an essential tool in colorectal cancer screening programmes, enabling early detection of the disease for more effective treatment.
