Colon cancer home screening test

Everything you need to know about the screening test without seeing a doctor

Colon cancer can affect anyone, even at a young age. But the earlier the cancer is detected, the better the chances of recovery, which is why regular colon cancer screening is important.

The stool test (known as the iFOB test) is one of the generally recommended early detection screenings. It checks for hidden blood in the stool. Blood in the stool can be an indication of cancer or its early stages. With the colon cancer home screening test, you save yourself a trip to the doctor’s practice and get a new, digital option for early detection of colon cancer.

  • Detect colon cancer early with home testing

    With the colon cancer home screening test, you can easily integrate screening into your everyday life. Through our partner DoctorBox, you can conveniently order the test kit to your home, where you can then take a sample in the comfort of your own home – discreetly and independently. Next the sample should be sent to an accredited laboratory for evaluation. You can track the current processing status at any time via your user account – and receive the result directly on your smartphone within a few days.

    If you have questions about the test, the team of medical experts at the SBK Health Hotline will be happy to assist you. And even after that: if the test is positive, we will reliably guide you through the next steps. The SBK Appointments Service will help you find a medical specialist and make an appointment for a colonoscopy.

    How to obtain the test:

  • You can obtain the test via Meine SBK. Simply log in to go directly to the test. Alternatively, you can also find the offer whilst logged in to the Meine SBK section under the keyword ‘Colon cancer test’.
