Eastern Massachusetts Surgery Center.
Protect your health with a colon cancer screening at a local gastroenterology center.
Each year, tens of thousands of Americans die from colon cancer. In fact, 60 to 90 percent of colon cancer deaths could be prevented if everyone over 45 got a colonoscopy.
Why a Colonoscopy?
Did you know that there’s been an increase in colorectal cancer diagnosis in younger adults?
If you’re 45 years old, schedule your colonoscopy today.
Colorectal cancer is preventable if found in an early stage. A colonoscopy is the only screening exam that not only checks for cancer, but also treats it by removing cancerous polyps.
What Are the Symptoms of Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer will often present no symptoms and can be fatal if diagnosed late. Should symptoms occur, they may include:
- Blood in your stool
- A change in bowel habits
- Unexplained pain in your stomach
- A lump in your abdomen
- Reduced appetite or unexplained weight loss
- Dizziness, tiredness or breathlessness
Make Your Health a Priority
If you’re over 45, don’t put off colon cancer screening any longer.
