Colorectal (colon) cancer screening can save your life. That’s because there are usually no signs or symptoms that cancer is growing in the colon and rectum when colorectal cancer is in the early stages. The best way to prevent colorectal cancer is to be screened on-time. A colonoscopy is the only test that can detect and prevent colorectal cancer.
Everyone should start colorectal cancer screening at age 45. Insurance covers screening at this age. If you have a family history or other risk factors, you may need to be screened earlier.
A colonoscopy is a short and safe outpatient screening exam where a gastroenterologist views your entire colon to spot and potentially remove growths (polyps) that can turn into cancer.
Our 27 board-certified gastroenterologists specialize in colonoscopy screening and consistently achieve colon polyp detection rates that exceed national screening benchmarks.
