Colon Cancer ScreeningsColon Cancer is one of the most treatable forms of cancer when detected early. This makes screenings and early detection crucial for anyone who feels they are at risk of developing colon cancer. If you are over the age of 50 and/or you have a family history of colon cancer speak to your doctor about scheduling a screening for colon cancer. ColonoscopyA colonoscopy exam allows a doctor to see and closely inspect the inside of the entire colon for signs of cancer or polyps. Polyps can eventually become cancerous. While you are sedated, your doctor will examine the colon using a colonoscope, a device which sends clear pictures to a viewing monitor. During this painless outpatient procedure, any discovered polyps are removed. |
