Every day lost lowers the chance of effective treatment

No one likes to think about colon health. But everyone should. Especially if you are age 50 and older. The American Cancer Society estimates that regular screenings could prevent up to 60 percent of colon cancer deaths in the U.S. every year. Detection of cancer means treatment can begin, and the earlier the treatment, the more likely it is to succeed.

We can help you get started. A colonoscopy is the first and most important step toward taking charge of your colon health. If you’ve had one, using FIT (fecal immunochemical test) between colonoscopies may help detect cancer earlier than with colonoscopy alone.

If you are like thousands of others who should be screened, but have refused colonoscopy, the FIT is the best noninvasive alternative test to get you started.

Prevent the endless discomfort of simply not knowing or the inherent danger of knowing too late. Ask your doctor about screenings for colorectal cancer.  If you don't have a primary care physician, we can help. You can schedule a colonoscopy or request a FIT today by filling out a request form or by calling 317-709-3476.
