  schema:description "The guaiac faecal occult blood test was the first stool test used for bowel screening: six smears from three separate stools, read by a colour change when blood is present. It is the test that proved in randomised trials that bowel screening saves lives, and England replaced it with the more accurate and easier faecal immunochemical test in 2019."@en ;
