Screening Colonoscopy
Stay Ahead of Colon Cancer: Get Screened Early
A screening colonoscopy is a life-saving test that prevent or detect early signs of colon cancer before symptoms appear, giving you the power to take control of your health.
A "screening colonoscopy" is a preventive procedure recommended for adults aged 40 and older, even if they feel perfectly healthy, to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this test is the early detection of colorectal polyps (abnormal growths of tissue) that have the potential to evolve into cancer over time.
Typically, a screening colonoscopy includes the possibility of polypectomy (polyp removal) if a polyp is identified during the examination. This comprehensive approach is considered a vital preventive healthcare service aimed at safeguarding individuals from the development of colorectal cancer.
