Reasons for Screening

SCREENING IS THE KEY TO PREVENTION

 
Regular screenings for colon cancer can prolong your life. 
Most colorectal cancers begin as non-cancerous polyps, which are clumps of fast growing cells. These polyps can eventually become cancerous, but if they are detected early enough, they can be removed before they advance to that stage. Regular screening colonoscopies can help prevent cancer; even if cancer is already present, early detection can increase your chances of a full recovery.
The Canadian Association of Gastroenterology and the American Cancer Society recommend a colonoscopy every 10 years or a sigmoidoscopy every 5 years for individuals at average risk, starting at age 50. Alternatively, a stool test can be run every 2 years. However, the ability of a stool test to identify polyps, or even cancer, is significantly lower than that of a colonoscopy. Talk to your family doctor about the screening option that is right for you. If you should choose to have a colonoscopy, we would be privileged to provide your endoscopic care.

I was very impressed with the ambiance of the clinic – certainly not cold and foreboding like I thought, but warm and receptive, just like your staff members. Everyone was pleasant and obviously considerate of what I was about to endure.

Top notch professional staff. I was walked thru everything right up to the point of falling asleep.

I not once encountered anyone less then nice and I am so glad. Really eases my fears for any future procedures. I appreciated that the doctor came in... Read More
