I don’t see how this kind of test can remove any pre-cancerous polyps. During a real colonoscopy the doctor removes these so they don’t develop further.

Yes and no opportunity for biopsies. I have to get them due to my UC. Colon cancer with UC has a very low survival rate.
It doesn’t. It looks for blood that could suggest a tumor and DNA that could be a sign of cancer or precancerous cells.
If positive, the next step is a colonoscopy.
It can’t. If you want the most comprehensive test, go with a full on old-fashioned colonoscopy. It is the best, but .. Unpleasant and expensive.
