Patient Resources

  • Colonoscopies can detect and prevent colorectal cancer. The purpose of a screening colonoscopy is to find early colon cancer, and more importantly, to find and remove precancerous polyps.
  • All men and women should be screened for colon cancer beginning at age 45, if not earlier. (The American Cancer Society recommends starting at age 45)
  • People with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, or experiencing symptoms are considered “high risk” and should get screened earlier.
