Early detection can save lives—your life.

When detected early, colon cancer is one of the most curable types of cancer. And a colorectal screening has been proven to be the best way to catch the earliest signs of colon cancer.

Why a colonoscopy?

A colorectal screening is the most reliable way to screen for colorectal cancer. Nearly all colorectal cancers begin with a precancerous polyp in the colon or rectum. But those polyps can also be detected and then removed during a routine screening.

What to expect at your appointment

Colorectal screenings are routine procedures. From restrictions on eating food to other relevant preparation in advance of the screening, to the day of the procedure itself, we’ll make sure there are no surprises.
