2026年,明尼苏达州保险公司自发发送了家庭结肠癌测试,但医生警告说,这些测试不如结肠镜有效,因为结肠镜可以预防癌症。 In 2026, Minnesota insurers sent unsolicited at-home colon cancer tests, but doctors warn they’re less effective than colonoscopies, which can prevent cancer.

2026年,一些明尼苏达人从承保人那里接获了自索而来的家庭结肠癌筛查包,这使人们对其有效性产生疑问。 In 2026, some Minnesotans received unsolicited at-home colon cancer screening kits from insurers, raising questions about their effectiveness. 专家强调,虽然早期检测至关重要,但在家进行便检测的准确性不如结肠镜检测,常常缺少癌前的多,导致错误的阳性结果,需要进行后续的结肠镜检测. Experts stress that while early detection is crucial, at-home stool tests are less accurate than colonoscopies, often missing precancerous polyps and producing false positives that require follow-up colonoscopies. 与结肠镜检查不同,结肠镜检查可以在一种程序中检测并消除聚虫,防止癌症——家庭化验只能发现出血或脱DNA后癌症的症状。 Unlike colonoscopy—which can detect and remove polyps in one procedure, preventing cancer—home tests only identify signs of cancer after bleeding or DNA shedding. Colonoscopy是经证明唯一可以预防直肠癌的检查,建议每10年对有平均风险的成人进行一次检查,被认为是安全、几乎无痛和符合成本效益的长期检查。 Colonoscopy is the only screening proven to prevent colorectal cancer, recommended every 10 years for average-risk adults, and is considered safe, nearly painless, and cost-effective long-term. 医务专业人员敦促个人向医生咨询,以便根据个人和家庭健康史选择最佳筛查。 Medical professionals urge individuals to consult a doctor to choose the best screening based on personal and family health history.
