This March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and Mediclinic is making it easier than ever to prioritise your health. We are offering complimentary colon cancer screening test to men and women aged 40 and above throughout the month.
With no appointments required, you can visit any Mediclinic hospital in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Al Ain (including Mediclinic Dubai Mall), collect your complimentary faecal immunochemical test (FIT) kit and follow the simple instructions to take the first step towards battling colon cancer. Return your sample within three hours after collection, and our experts will handle the rest – it's a straightforward way to keep on top of your health and detect any sign of colon cancer from the very beginning.
Why Get Screened?
Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it is also one of the most treatable when caught early. Most colon cancers start as small abnormal growths in the colon or lower digestive tract that can be detected through colon cancer screening before they develop into cancers. With early detection, the chances of successful treatment are significantly higher.
How It Works
First, collect your test container from any Mediclinic hospital in Dubai (including Mediclinic Dubai Mall), Abu Dhabi or Al Ain.
Complete the test at home, following the easy-to-use instructions that were provided to you.
Drop it off at the hospital’s laboratory within three hours of collecting the sample
Finally, get your results – we will arrange any follow-up appointments you might need immediately.
Who Can Take the Test?
This complimentary FIT test is available to all individuals aged 40 and above. However, if you have any of the following conditions:
- A previous history of colon cancer
- Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis)
- Bleeding from the rectum
- Loose, bloody stools
- A family history of bowel cancer
you should arrange a consultation with a gastroenterologist instead of taking the test.
