Do I need to get retested or have a colonoscopy?

Whether or not you need additional testing depends on your results.

For positive results: It’s very important to follow up with your healthcare provider as soon as possible for next steps, which may include getting a colonoscopy.

For negative results: Share the results with your healthcare provider and discuss the next steps that are right for you. Generally, anyone age 50 or older should get a FIT every year.
