Colon Cancer Screening & Care
If you are age 45 or older, you should speak to your doctor about a colonoscopy for colon cancer screening. For many patients, a colonoscopy is recommended every 10 years from age 45 to 75. There are varying risk factors, including family history, and your doctor can help you make an informed decision on a preventive plan that is best for you.
Don’t wait – schedule an appointment today and speak to your doctor about this important, life-saving cancer screening.
