Hi. I'm Dr. TR Levin.
I'm a gastroenterologist at Kaiser Permanente
in Northern California and I lead the
colorectal cancer screening efforts for our region.
Today, we're at the regional lab in Berkeley,
where thousands of cancer screening tests
come in every day.
What if I told you there's a great way to screen for
colorectal cancer that doesn't involve any invasive tubes or
taking any unpleasant laxatives.
For Kaiser Permanente members, it's never been easier
to protect yourself from colorectal cancer.
Many people think colonoscopy is the only way
to screen for colon cancer.
While this may be true for some people,
for most of us, there's a great alternative.
The fecal immunal chemical test or FIT is a simple,
none-invasive test that you do from the privacy
of your own home. It takes just five minutes.
There's no risk and there's no physical discomfort.
You simply collect the sample, pop it in the mail,
and send it back to the lab.
It's that simple.
You don't need to stop any medications or change your diet.
And if you do it every year, you can get the same benefit as a
colonoscopy without the prep, without the tubes,
without any of the risk.
Colon cancer is a preventable disease.
Screening finds early cancer.
When we find cancer early, it's 90% curable.
Every day, 3000 samples arrive in this lab to be analyzed.
Please join the thousands of Kaiser Permanente members
who are doing something great for their health.
The test takes just five minutes and is completely risk-free.
If you're between 50 and 75. Send this kit in.
Do it today. Don't wait.
It's quick to do and it could potentially save your life.
