We prioritize patient education to improve awareness about conditions, treatment options, and outcomes
- Colon cancer screening is a test used to detect colon cancer or precancerous polyps in the colon and rectum.
- Screening can help detect cancer early when it is most treatable, or prevent it by identifying and removing precancerous polyps.
- People aged 45-75 years with an average risk of colon cancer should begin colon cancer screening on a regular basis. Those with a positive family history should start at an earlier age.
- There are several types of colon cancer screening tests, including fecal occult blood tests (FOBT), stool DNA tests, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy.
- The frequency of screening tests depends on the type of test and the individual's risk factors.
