Definition:
The American Cancer Society (ACS) added the stool DNA test to its list of colon cancer screening options in March 2008. Rather than looking for hidden blood, a stool DNA test looks for traces of abnormal DNA (genetic material) shed by polyps and/or colorectal tumors.
The stool DNA test is the most sensitive and expensive (about $80) stool testing option currently available.
Also Known As: sDNA test
