Yes. The fecal occult blood test is not very sensitive, so it won't detect most cases of colon cancer.

If they saw positive cancer tracers in my blood and they traced it to my liver but my liver is ok but I still have positive cancer tracers then do I have cancer somewhere else?

You may. If the cancer originated in the liver and the carcinoma cells are being found in the bloodstream, then the cancer from the liver has already metastasized and is moving around through the entire system. These metastasized cancer cells may 'stick' in other sites.


What does occult blood shown in urine test indicate?

Normally there is no protein detectable on a urinalysis strip. Protein can indicate kidney damage, blood in the urine, or an infection. Up to 10% of children can have protein in their urine. Certain diseases require the use of a special, more sensitive (and more expensive) test for protein called a microalbumin test. A microalbumin test is very useful in screening for early damage to the kidneys from diabetes, for instance. "Occult blood" simply means "hidden" blood; blood that is not visible, but is still present. Normally there is no blood in the urine. Blood can indicate an infection, kidney stones, trauma, or bleeding from a bladder or kidney tumor. The technician may indicate whether it is hemolyzed (disolved blood) or non-hemolyzed (intact red blood cells). Rarely, muscle injury can cause myoglobin to appear in the urine which also causes the reagent pad to falsely indicate blood.
