Colon cancer screening is one of the most effective ways to detect early changes in the large intestine (colon) before cancer develops. Regular screening helps identify polyps—small growths on the inner wall of the colon—that can be removed before they turn cancerous. Detecting colon cancer early significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates.
If you are above 45 years of age or have a family history of colorectal cancer, it is strongly recommended to undergo a screening colonoscopy to prevent colon cancer before symptoms appear.
The first step is to consult a doctor to determine the most appropriate screening method and frequency for your individual risk factors. The process may involve a simple at-home test, preparation for a visual exam, or further diagnostic procedures.
A colonoscopy is a minimally invasive, safe, and highly accurate test that allows direct visualization of the entire colon using a flexible camera called a colonoscope. During the same procedure, any polyps or abnormal growths can be removed or biopsied for further analysis.
For high-risk individuals, your doctor may recommend starting screening earlier or repeating it more frequently.
