Luthini uvavanyo lweCologuard?

I-Cologuard kuphela kovavanyo lwe-stool-DNA lokuvavanya umhlaza wekolon ovunyiweyo yi-Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

I-Cologuard ijonge utshintsho kwi-DNA yakho enokubonisa ubukho bomhlaza wekolon okanye iipolyps ezinokubakho kwikholoni yakho.

I-Cologuard ifumana ukuthandwa ngenxa yokuba incinci kakhulu, kwaye ilunge ngakumbi, kunoluvavanyo lwesiko lwe-colonoscopy.

Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho izibonelelo ezithile kuvavanyo lweCologuard lokuvavanywa komhlaza, kodwa kukho iingxaki, nazo zibandakanya inkxalabo malunga nokuchaneka kwayo. Qhubeka ufunda ukuze ufumanise ukuba ungaluthathela ingqalelo uvavanyo lweCologuard kwiscreen somhlaza wekolon.

Usebenza njani uCologuard?

Umhlaza wamathumbu ngumhlaza wesithathu oqhelekileyo e-United States, kunye ne-American Cancer Society (ACS) eqikelela ukuba ngaphezulu kwe-100,000 yamatyala amatsha azakufunyaniswa kulo nyaka.

Nokuba awunazimpawu okanye imbali yosapho yomhlaza ongalunganga, okubeka kumngcipheko "ophakathi", oogqirha bacebisa ukuba uqale uhlolo kwi-45 yeminyaka (ingcebiso ye-ACS) okanye i-50 (Ingcebiso ye-US Preventive Services Task Force [USPSTF]).

Uvavanyo lweCologuard lomhlaza wekolon ngokuchonga i-DNA engaqhelekanga kunye nemikhondo yegazi esitulweni enokuthi ibangele iipolyps kunye nomhlaza wekolon onokubangela.

Ugqirha wakho kuya kufuneka akunike uvavanyo phambi kokuba ukwazi uku-odola ikhithi yeCologuard. Ungagcwalisa ifom kwiwebhusayithi yenkampani eyenza ifom yoku-odola ngokwezifiso ukuba uze nayo kugqirha wakho.

Ukuba uthatha uvavanyo lweCologuard, nantsi into onokuyilindela.

1. Uyakufumana ikiti ebandakanya konke okudingayo ukuze uqokelele isampulu yendle enonxibelelwano oluncinci nesitulo sakho. Ikhithi ibandakanya: isibiyeli kunye nebhakethi yokuqokelela, iphenyo kunye netyhubhu yelebhu ebekiweyo, isisombululo sokugcina esiza kugcina isampulu yakho ngexesha lokuhambisa, kunye nelebheli yokuthumela kwangaphambili yokubuyisela ibhokisi kwilebhu.
2. Usebenzisa isibiyeli esikhethekileyo kunye nebhakethi yokuqokelela eza nekiti, yiba nokuhamba kwamathumbu kwindlu yangasese eya ngqo kwisitya sokuqokelela.
3. Usebenzisa iplastikhi eboniswe ngekhithi, uqokelele nesampulu yokuhamba kwamathumbu akho kunye nendawo efumaneka kwityhubhu ekhethekileyo engenazintsholongwane.
4. Thela isisombululo sokulondolozwa esifakwe kwikhithi kwisampula yakho yesitulo kwaye ujije isiciko sayo esikhethekileyo ngokuqinileyo.
5. Gcwalisa ifom ecela ulwazi lwakho, kubandakanya umhla kunye nexesha lokuqokelelwa kwesampulu yakho.
6. Beka zonke iisampulu eziqokelelweyo kunye nolwazi kwakhona kwibhokisi yeCologuard kwaye uyithumele kwakhona kwilebhu ngaphakathi kweeyure ezingama-24.

Ingaba ibiza malini?

I-Cologuard igutyungelwe ziinkampani ezininzi zeinshurensi yezempilo, kubandakanya neMedicare.

Ukuba ufanelekile (phakathi kweminyaka engama-50 ukuya kuma-75 ubudala) ukuhlolwa komhlaza wekolon, unokukwazi ukufumana iCologuard ngaphandle kweendleko ezingaphandle.

Ukuba awunayo i-inshurensi, okanye ukuba i-inshurensi yakho ayizukuyigubungela, elona xabiso liphezulu leCologuard yi- $ 649.

Ngubani omele afumane uvavanyo lweCologuard?

Inani ekujoliswe kulo kuvavanyo lweCologuard ngabantu abanomngcipheko ophakathi kwaye kufuneka bevavanywa umhlaza wekolon rhoqo.

I-USPSTF icebisa ukuba abantu abadala eUnited States abaphakathi kweminyaka engama-50 ukuya kwengama-75 ubudala bahlolwe rhoqo umhlaza wekolon. Ingcebiso ye-ACS kukuqala ukuhlolwa kwiminyaka engama-45 ubudala.

Ukuba usemngciphekweni owandayo womhlaza wekolon ngenxa yembali yosapho lwakho, nakuphi na ukuguquka okuzuzwe njengelifa, ubuhlanga, okanye ezinye izinto ezinobungozi, thetha nogqirha wakho malunga nokuqala kokuhlola nokuba kungaphambi koko.

Iziphumo zovavanyo lweCologuard

Emva kokuba ilebhu ivavanya isampuli yakho, iziphumo zovavanyo lweCologuard zithunyelwa kugqirha wakho. Ugqirha wakho uya kuhamba nawe ngeziphumo kwaye ajongane nawaphi na amanyathelo alandelayo okuqhubeka kovavanyo ukuba uyafuna.

Iziphumo zovavanyo lweCologuard zibonisa “u-negative” okanye “u-positive”. Iziphumo zovavanyo ezingalunganga zibonisa ukuba bekungekho i-DNA engaqhelekanga okanye "i-hemoglobin biomarkers" efunyenwe kwisampuli yakho.

NgesiNgesi esicacileyo, oko kuthetha ukuba uvavanyo aluzange lubone naluphi na uphawu lomhlaza wekolon okanye ii-polyps ezinqabileyo ezikwi-colon yakho.

Ukuba ufumana iziphumo ezilungileyo zeCologuard, oko kuthetha ukuba kuvavanyo kufunyenwe iimpawu zomhlaza wekolon okanye iipolyps ezinesifo.

Iimposiso ezingezizo kunye nezinto ezingekhoyo ziyenzeka kwiimvavanyo zeCologuard. Ngokwezifundo zeklinikhi zango-2014, malunga neepesenti ezili-13 zeziphumo ezivela eCologuard zazingumbono wobuxoki kwaye iipesenti ezisi-8 yayizizinto ezingezizo.

Ukuba uneziphumo ezilungileyo, ugqirha wakho uya kuncomela ukulandela uvavanyo lwe-colonoscopy.

Uvavanyo lweCologuard vs. colonoscopy

Ngelixa i-Cologuard kunye ne-colonoscopy inokusetyenziswa zovavanyo lokuhlola, zithatha iindlela ezimbini ezahlukeneyo kwaye zibonelela ngolwazi olwahlukileyo.

Uvavanyo lweCologuard lweempawu zomhlaza wekolon kunye neepolyps. Xa ugqirha wakho esenza ikholonoscopy, bazama ukufumana iipolyps ngokwazo.

IColonoscopy ithwala umngcipheko ophantsi wobunzima, njengokuphendula kuthomalaliso okanye ukugqobhoza isisu sakho. I-Cologuard ayinayo ingozi enjalo.

Kwelinye icala, uCologuard:

• ngamanye amaxesha unokuphoswa ziipolyps zangaphambi kwexesha kovavanyo lwayo, olubizwa ngokuba yinto engeyiyo
• unokuhlala uphoswa kukubona ubukho beepolyps ezinkulu
• Ikwanomngcipheko ophezulu weemposiso ezingezizo, ezingenayo i-colonoscopy

I-Cologuard kunye ne-colonoscopy ingasetyenziselwa kunye ukukhusela umdlavuza wekolon. I-Cologuard isebenza njenge-noninvasive, kuvavanyo lodidi lokuqala lwabantu abasemngciphekweni ophakathi womhlaza wekolon.

Iziphumo ezilungileyo ezivela eCologuard zibonisa ukuba kuyafuneka ukuvavanywa okuthe kratya, ngelixa abantu abaneziphumo zovavanyo ezingalunganga banokukhetha ukuphepha i-colonoscopy esekwe kwiingcebiso zikagqirha wabo.

Izibonelelo zovavanyo lweCologuard

Uvavanyo lweCologuard lunezibonelelo ezininzi ezicacileyo kwezinye iintlobo zovavanyo.

Kungenziwa ekhaya, okusika ngexesha ngexesha kumagumbi okulinda okanye esibhedlele kuvavanyo.

Abanye abantu bayathandabuza malunga nenkqubo ye-colonoscopy kuba ifuna indawo yokuhlala.

I-Cologuard ikuvumela ukuba uhlolwe ngaphandle kokuba ne-sedation okanye i-anesthesia. Nangona kunjalo, ukuba uvavanyo lwakho lweCologuard aluqhelekanga, kufuneka lulandelwe kunye nekholonoscopy.

I-Cologuard nayo ayifuni naluphi na ulungiselelo. Awudingi ukuyeka ukuthatha amayeza okanye ukukhawuleza ngaphambi kokuba uthathe uvavanyo lweCologuard.

Iingxaki zovavanyo lweCologuard

Kukho iingxaki ezithile kuvavanyo lweCologuard, ikakhulu olubandakanya ukuchaneka kwalo.

Uvavanyo lwestool lwesampulu lufana nekholonoscopy xa kufikwa ekufumaneni iipolyps ezinesifo kunye nezilonda.

Iimposiso ezingeyonyani zinokudala uxinzelelo olungafunekiyo kunye noxinzelelo ngelixa ulinde uvavanyo olulandelayo. Amanqanaba aphezulu ezinto ezingeyonyani ezinxulunyaniswa neCologuard zenza ukuba oogqirha balulumkele uvavanyo.

Izinto ezingalunganga zobuxoki-okanye ukuphoswa bubukho bomhlaza wekolon okanye iipolyps-kunokwenzeka. Izinga elingalunganga elibi liphezulu kwiipolyps ezinkulu.

Ukusukela ukuba ukuvavanywa kweCologuard kuyinto entsha, akukho nto ifumanekayo malunga nokuba le ndlela yokujonga iya kuyichaphazela njani imbonakalo yakho yexesha elide ukuba ugqibela ngokuba nomhlaza wekolon.

Iindleko zeCologuard ngumqobo omkhulu ukuba awunayo i-inshurensi yokugubungela equka olu hlobo lokuhlola.

Ukuthatha

Unyango lomhlaza luyanyangeka, kodwa ukubonwa kwangethuba yinxalenye ebalulekileyo yamanqanaba okusinda kwabantu abanako. Umhlaza wamathumbu obhaqwe kwinqanaba lokuqala unama-90 epesenti yenqanaba lokusinda kwiminyaka emi-5 emva kokuxilongwa.

Nje ukuba umhlaza wekolon uqhubele phambili uye kwinqanaba elilandelayo, iziphumo ezilungileyo ziyehla kakhulu. Ngenxa yezi zizathu, i-CDC icebisa uvavanyo lokuvavanywa rhoqo kwiminyaka emi-3 kubantu abangaphezulu kwama-50.

Unokufuna ukujongana neenkxalabo, uloyiko, kunye nemibuzo onayo malunga nekholonoscopy kunye neendlela zokuhlola iCologuard kutyelelo lwakho olulandelayo.

Musa ukuba neentloni xa kufikwa ekuthetheni malunga nokuthintela umhlaza wekolon kunye nokuhlolwa.

Qalisa incoko ngokubuza malunga nomngcipheko wakho womhlaza wekolon ngokusekwe kwimbali yakho yezempilo okanye ngokubuza ugqirha wakho malunga neCologuard kunye nokuchaneka kwayo.
