Cologuard Results Summary

The Cologuard Results Summary provides an overview of the 4 possible Cologuard results.

A positive result does not necessarily mean a patient has cancer. It means that the Cologuard test detected DNA and/or hemoglobin biomarkers in the stool that are associated with colorectal cancer or advanced adenoma. False positives and false negatives occur with the Cologuard test, and appropriate follow-up is important. Patients with a positive result should have a colonoscopy.1


False positives and false negatives do occur. In a clinical study, 13% of patients without colorectal cancer or advanced adenomas received a positive result (false positive) and 8% of patients with cancer received a negative result (false negative).
