WHY GET SCREENED

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms until the disease is in its later stages, making routine screenings vital to your health. With proper testing, colon cancer is highly preventable and, if caught early, easily treated.

Colonoscopy is the gold standard in colon cancer prevention because it is the only test that allows your gastroenterologist to find and remove polyps before they become cancer. If you’re over 45* or have a history of polyps or colorectal cancer, it’s time to get screened.
