Protect your health with regular screenings by highly skilled endoscopists.
Colorectal cancer generally begins as small noncancerous growths called polyps. But with regular screenings, our board-certified gastroenterologists can find and remove these polyps before they become cancerous.
Are you at risk?
Colorectal cancer is more common in people 50 and older and those with a family history of the disease or a personal history of colorectal cancer, polyps or inflammatory bowel disease. Unfortunately, the disease may be advanced before symptoms such as bleeding from the rectum, a feeling of pressure or a change in bowel habits occur. If the disease is diagnosed early, before cancer has spread to other parts of the body, it is much easier to treat and beat.
Regular screenings can save your life.
The best defense is to have regular screenings. The American Cancer Society recommends that you begin colorectal screenings at age 50 (45 if you are African-American). You may need to begin screenings earlier if your mother, father, brother or sister has had the disease or you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease. Although there are several colorectal cancer screening methods, only colonoscopy lets us examine the inside of the entire colon.
