What is the Best Colorectal Cancer Test?
The one that gets done! Colorectal cancer is a preventable disease, so screening is your first step to testing and preventing it. A colonoscopy is the one-step approach to colorectal cancer testing and prevention. A colonoscopy allows polyp detection and removal, all at once.
However, for those who absolutely refuse a colonoscopy, please talk to your family physician for more information and to assess your testing options.
Prevention is better than cure for colorectal cancer. Contact us today to schedule your colonoscopy screening at Granite Peaks Gastroenterology.
