Catch Cancer Early

A colonoscopy is a diagnostic procedure where a doctor examines your large intestine for early signs of cancer. It is a minimally invasive operation, meaning the surgeon makes a few small cuts instead of one large one.

Colonoscopies aren’t just diagnostic surgeries. Surgeons will prevent cancer by removing precancerous polyps. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Get a colonoscopy at age 45 and catch the disease when it’s at its most treatable.

If you’ve developed colorectal cancer, you have treatment options. Your cancer specialist will work with you to decide which option best meets your treatment needs. Ask your doctor if colorectal surgery is your best choice.

Colorectal Cancer Surgery: What to Expect

Colorectal polyps and early stage colorectal cancers are often first seen during a colonoscopy. If you have a colonoscopy, your health care provider may see a polyp that might turn into cancer or might already have cancer. They might be able to completely remove the polyp by passing small tools through the tube or colonoscope, with no surgical cut or incision needed. In other cases, surgery might be needed. Learn about when surgery may be an option, types of surgery, risks of surgery, and what to expect before, during and after surgery.
