Answer 1

Nope, none of those stool tests you're asking about can detect cancer. They are mainly looking for germs and bugs that can make you sick, like bacteria and viruses. If doctors want to check for cancer, they usually do other kinds of tests, like blood tests or special scans. So, this list is all about finding things that can cause tummy troubles, not cancer.
