Colorectal Cancer Screening

Colorectal cancer that is caught in the early stages has a 5-year survival rate of over 90%.1 Yet, only 39% of cases2 are diagnosed in early stages due to low screening rates. When this disease spreads to distant organs, the 5-year survival rate drops to 11%.3

Easy-to-use, in-home colorectal screening

InSure® ONE™ is a convenient, at-home fecal immunochemical test (FIT) that aids in the detection of lower gastrointestinal bleeding that may be caused by colorectal cancer or other lower gastrointestinal disorders.*

 

Studies show that InSure ONE testing helps more people actually get the screening they need. FIT testing 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 3,5,6,8

Accurate colorectal screening

InSure ONE qualitatively detects human hemoglobin from blood in fecal samples,6 which may be an indication of lower gastrointestinal bleeding associated with disorders such as diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis, polyps, colorectal cancers, or large adenomas that bleed. The assay uses monoclonal antibodies to capture human hemoglobin on a test strip.

The InSure® ONE™ kit

InSure ONE comes in a patient-friendly kit that contains everything necessary to collect a water-based sample and package it for shipping in an enclosed self-mailing envelope.

  • Test requisition        
  • Patient instructions for use
  • A test card
  • 2 long-handled brushes
  • 2 waste bags

Please contact your Quest Diagnostics sales representative for instructions in additional languages.


 

Patient-friendly collection

The convenient water-based collection method uses a unique, patented brush sampling that doesn’t require any stool collection or handling. There are no dietary or medicinal restrictions. Patients collect 2 water-based samples from a single bowel movement. This patient-friendly approach to testing is associated with up to 66% greater patient compliance.7


 

Every kit returned could save a life by early detection

Our InSure® ONE™ integrated reminder program helps encourage test compliance by sending reminder messages to patients to complete and return their collection kit. Electronic orders for InSure ONE placed in Quanum® Lab Services Manager or your EMR interface are eligible to receive reminders.

Who should be screened with InSure ONE?

Distribute kits to average-risk patients aged 45+ during annual wellness visits.
