About InSure^® ONE^™

ColonCancerScreeningKit.com uses the InSure ONE screening kit, a convenient, at-home fecal immunochemical test kit that only requires water-based sampling of one bowel movement. Colorectal cancer screening has never been easier.

Early detection for a preventable cancer

Colorectal cancer that is caught in the early stages has a 5-year survival rate of over 90%. Yet, only 39% of cases are diagnosed in early stages due to low screening rates. When disease spreads to distant organs, the 5-year survival rate drops to 11%.

Only 39% of cases are diagnosed in early stages due to low screening

Accurate colorectal screening

InSure^® ONE^™ is a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) that qualitatively detects human hemoglobin from blood in fecal samples, which may be an indication of lower gastrointestinal bleeding associated with polyps, colorectal cancers, or large adenomas that bleed.

Studies show that the InSure^® ONE^™ testing helps more people actually get the screening they need. FIT testing is considered a tier 1 test for colorectal screening and is supported by medical guidelines, including the American Cancer Society, the American College of Gastroenterology, and the US Preventive Services Task Force for early detection of Colorectal Cancer.

I’ve already had a colonoscopy. Do I need to do this test also?

If you are not due for your follow up colonoscopy, you are in compliance with screening guidelines and this test is not necessary. However, there are still some advantages to completing a FIT. For example, studies show that completing an annual FIT in between colonoscopy allowed asymptomatic patients to detect cancer up to 2 years earlier. Your plan will cover the cost of your test if you choose to complete the test.
