The method is designed to detect colorectal cancer, which affects the colon and rectum, at an early stage. It uses a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to detect hidden blood in stool. Depending on the test results, patients may be referred for a colonoscopy when necessary.

As part of the project implemented in Asaka District, particular attention was given not only to the use of modern laboratory equipment and test kits but also to training local medical professionals.

The discussions covered the potential application of this experience in Kokand, the readiness of local healthcare facilities, and opportunities to strengthen international cooperation.

The initiative could help improve early cancer detection, expand access to preventive screening, and enhance the quality of healthcare services.
