Description:

Stool DNA testing to screen for colon cancer: Dr. David Ahlquist, from the Mayo Clinic, dicusses this non invasive test to screen for colon cancer. Because polyps and colon cancer shed cells into the stool, doctors can check DNA in the stool to look for mutations of the DNA that suggest cancer.
