Colonoscopy: catch cancer signs early
A screening colonoscopy can detect colon cancer in its early stages, when it's very treatable. You should get a colonoscopy every 10 years, beginning at age 45. Depending on your family history and other potential risk factors, you may need earlier or more regular screening.
A simpler process: We offer direct access to screening colonoscopies to qualified patients, saving you time and money.
