As part of the Moje Zdrowie program, the FIT-OC stool test has been available in family practice since May 2025. It is free of charge for individuals over the age of 50, as well as for those aged 40-49 with a family history of colorectal cancer. In 2018, colorectal cancer was the third most common malignancy among men and the second most frequently diagnosed malignancy among women in Poland. That same year, nearly 12.5 deaths due to colorectal cancer were recorded in the country. At the time, it was the second leading cause of cancer-related death among men and the third among women. Despite improvements observed over the years, Poland still ranks among the lowest in Europe.
