Colon cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable

If colon cancer is found early, there's a 90% chance of beating it. But, almost 1 in 3 adults in the US aren't getting the recommended screenings. Our specialists are here to help you through the process, offering options based on your risk.

Convenient locations

You may be able to do a FIT test at home. But if you need a colonoscopy, they're available at many locations.

Comprehensive support

We'll work with your primary care doctor and keep you informed before, during and after your colon screening.

Proactive and preventive

If we find a precancerous growth, we may be able to remove it during the colonoscopy and stop cancer from developing.

Know your risk level

Which screening option is right for you?

Screenings can prevent cancer from forming and save lives. There are different screening options, depending on you risk level.

Average risk: Colonoscopy, Stool/poop test (with FIT kit, or Cologuard)

If you are 45 or older, and you have no family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, ask your primary care provider to place an order for a colonoscopy screening, or order a FIT test that you can do at home. If your FIT test is abnormal, you will need to schedule a colonoscopy.

High risk: Colonoscopy recommended

If you have high any of the following, you should continue to have colonoscopy exams for screening or monitoring over time (starting at age 45 at least, and maybe younger depending on your personal and family history):

A family history of colorectal cancer or precancerous polyps
A personal history of colon polyps, Ulcerative Colitis, or Crohn’s
A personal history of colorectal cancer
A genetic condition for high risk colon cancer and colon polyps (such as Lynch Syndrome)

Please connect with your primary care or colonoscopy provider to schedule a colonoscopy.

Preparing for your colonoscopy

A colonoscopy is the best way to check for colon cancer, precancerous growths, and polyps. If an abnormal mass or polyp is found during your exam, your doctor will decide on the best way to treat it. This often means removing it during the procedure. Finding and removing precancerous growths during a colonoscopy can help stop cancer from developing.
