Colonoscopy

Catch cancer early.

A colonoscopy isn’t just able to detect colorectal cancer early. In many cases the procedure can help doctors and their patients prevent the second deadliest type of cancer altogether.

What is a colonoscopy?

During a colonoscopy, a doctor uses a sigmoidoscope to inspect the entire length of their patient’s large intestine. The doctor looks for inflamed tissue, ulcers, bleeding, polyps and other signs of colorectal cancer. The information a doctor gains by performing a colonoscopy allows them to prescribe treatment that may prevent or eliminate colorectal cancer more successfully than later diagnosis could have permitted.
