- Approximately 1 in 20 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer at some point in their lifetime
- Colon cancer (if discovered early) is one of the most treatable and preventable cancers
- Most colon cancers begin as polyps. If they are discovered and removed early, progression to cancer can be prevented.
- People with colon cancer are often asymptomatic until later stages of cancer, which are much more difficult to treat. Regular screening helps detect these pre-cancerous polyps before symptoms show.
Colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and infusion therapy for Crohn's and ulcerative colitis done at our facility typically provide significant cost savings compared to those done at hospital-owned facilities!!! Please verify with your
insurance.
For colon cancer screening, although most insurance carriers do not require a referral (please check with your insurance), we require chart notes from your primary care physician prior to scheduling an appointment to ensure continuity of care.
