After your result
No elevated markers found: continue routine screening, including NHS bowel screening when invited, and stay alert to symptoms.
Elevated markers found: this does not mean you have cancer, but it does need follow-up. Share your report with your GP, who may refer you for further investigation such as a colonoscopy.
Seek medical advice promptly about any symptoms, whatever your result.
