What is Colon Cancer Screening?

Colon cancer screening is a preventive evaluation designed to detect abnormal growths, precancerous polyps, or early-stage colorectal cancer before symptoms appear. Detecting these changes early allows timely intervention, reducing the likelihood of cancer progression and improving long-term outcomes.

Depending on your age and risk profile, your doctor may recommend different screening methods and follow-up evaluations.

Common Screening Methods

  • Stool-based screening tests
  • Colonoscopy
  • Flexible sigmoidoscopy

The most suitable screening method depends on your individual health condition and clinical recommendations.
