Answer 1

No, none of the stool tests you mentioned can tell if someone has bowel cancer. They are looking for germs or bugs that can make you sick, like bacteria and viruses, but not for cancer. If someone needs to check for bowel cancer, doctors usually do other special tests, not just stool tests.
