Get the message. Schedule a colonoscopy.
The rate of colorectal cancer diagnoses has dropped each year since the mid-1980s because more people are getting screened and more people are adjusting their lifestyle to reduce risk factors. If you catch it early, colorectal cancer has a 90 percent survival rate.
A colonoscopy is one of the few screening tests that can actually prevent colon cancer.
By finding and taking colon polyps out before they become cancer, doctors can prevent their later development into cancer. What are you waiting for?
