The short answer is no. Colon AiQ was not designed as a substitute for a colonoscopy, but rather as an advanced screening test that acts complementarily in prevention.
What is the difference in how they function?
Colon AiQ: Detects whether molecular traces of cancer are present in the blood, with no preparation or invasive procedure required.
Colonoscopy: It is an invasive, visual method that allows the gastroenterologist to view the inside of the colon, locate the exact position of a lesion, and, if necessary, proceed with polyp removal (therapeutic intervention).
If the Colon AiQ result is negative, repeating the test every 1-2 years is recommended. However, if the molecular test comes back positive, confirmation, localization, and final diagnosis must always be performed via a colonoscopy by your treating Gastroenterologist. .
In practice, this test provides a reliable alternative for those who hesitate or delay undergoing a colonoscopy, preventing the loss of critical time for an early diagnosis.
For the general population (individuals without symptoms or a high-risk family history) aged 45 to 75, screening with Colon AiQ is recommended to be repeated every 1 to 2 years, as part of their annual routine check-up.
The exact frequency of repetition can be personalized by your treating physician, depending on your individual medical history and personal risk factors.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer worldwide, yet it possesses a unique characteristic: if detected early, it is up to 90% curable. The fact that it develops ‘silently’ without symptoms in its early stages makes regular screening our only weapon.
