Faeces research provides a lot of information
The faeces of people reveals a lot about their health and thus plays an important
role in the early identification of diseases, including colorectal cancer.
 Bacteriological research:
 Research on blood in stool
 Infections
 Precancerous colorectal cancer
 Chronic intestinal inflammation
(Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative colitis)
 immunochemical Fecal Occult
Blood Testing (iFOBT)
 Colorectal cancer
 Obesity
 Diabetes Mellitus
 Intestinal function
 Digestion
 Helicobacter pylori
 Salmonella, Shigella
 Campylobacter
 Yersinia enterocolitica

The EU wants more preventive research into cancer
 With more than 3 million new cases
and 1.7 million deaths each year,
cancer is the second biggest cause of
death in Europe.
 Colorectal cancer is the second
mortally cancer in Europe.
 In the early diagnosis is the chance of
recovery 90%. This is possible with
occult blood testing.
 90% of cases of cancer occur of people
over 50 years.
 The EU asks the Member States to rollout preventive colorectal cancer
screening programs.

Faecal Occult Blood Test
 The stool examination is an examination of very small
amounts of blood in stool. This is the immunochemical
Fecal Occult Blood Test (iFOBT). The stool will be checked
in the laboratory under a microscope. Blood in the stool
sample may indicate a polyp or tumour in the intestines,
or may have other, more innocent causes.
 If blood is found in the FOBT test, the doctor will discuss
with the patient if further investigation is needed.
 In the most cases there is an endoscopy investigation
needed.

Current methods of collection of feces
 Gathering / collecting portion stool: The patient should caught
the feces itself in a pot, pan, garbage bag or newspaper
 A portion of the feces must be scooped into the plastic feces jar
 For the patients this is very inconvenient !
 Problems with the current collection methods:
 The feces jar will be inappropriate handed (e.g. too less
filled) or smeared on the outside
 Incorrect intake provides unreliable research and threatens
the health of laboratory employees
 Consequence: research delayed and intake should happen again
