About cancer screening
When to consider it
Screening is for people with no symptoms. Guidelines set start ages for some cancers, so the right test depends on your age, sex, and family history.
What the tests look for
Hidden blood in stool for colon cancer, PSA for prostate cancer, cancer signals in blood across many types, and breast cancer risk from your mammogram.
At home or at a lab
The FIT kit is collected at home. PSA and multi-cancer tests need a blood draw. Clairity Breast™ uses a recent screening mammogram, if it’s compatible.
What cancer screening tests look for
What each test checks, and how to read a result.
Why it’s checked
Hidden blood can come from polyps or colorectal cancer. A positive calls for follow-up with your doctor, and usually a colonoscopy. It isn’t a diagnosis.
Reading your result
A negative means no blood was found this time, not that cancer is ruled out, so FIT is repeated yearly. A positive calls for follow-up with your doctor, and usually a colonoscopy.
Tests that include it
Why it’s checked
PSA can rise with cancer, but also with an enlarged prostate or inflammation, so it’s read against age and past results.
Reading your result
Recent ejaculation, cycling, and prostate procedures can raise PSA for a while, and some medicines lower it. A trend can matter more.
Tests that include it
Why it’s checked
Multi-cancer tests look for patterns in it that are linked to many cancer types, including some with no standard screening.
Reading your result
A negative result doesn’t rule out cancer. A positive result isn’t a diagnosis; it means a signal was found that needs follow-up tests.
Why it’s checked
It estimates your 5-year breast cancer risk, which can inform how often and how you’re screened.
Reading your result
Your result is a 5-year risk estimate, not a diagnosis. A higher estimate can be a reason to talk about extra or earlier screening with your doctor.

No. PSA can rise for reasons other than cancer. The USPSTF says men 55 to 69 should decide about PSA screening with a clinician after weighing benefits and harms, and it advises against routine screening at 70 and older.
No. They add to, and don’t replace, recommended screenings such as colonoscopy or FIT, mammograms, and cervical screening. A negative result doesn’t rule out cancer, and a positive one needs follow-up.
Yes. FSA and HSA cards are accepted at checkout. What counts as an eligible expense depends on your plan, so check with your plan administrator if you’re unsure.
