If Cologuard finds a polyp, not even sure how it actually does it, then a patient still has to have it removed.
Cologuard doesn’t find polyps … it detects the presence of cancer. Most of the polyps removed in colonoscopies are not cancerous. Cologuard is for people with no history of negative colonoscopies. Its BIG advantage is that people will do the Cologuard test because it is minimum fuss while they may skip the colonoscopy.
