March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month—a crucial time to emphasize the importance of prevention. Recognizing screening guidelines, risk factors, and available screening methods is vital. We are dedicated to helping you understand your options and the limitations that stool and blood based screening methods have when compared to colonoscopy.
Important Considerations:
*Stool and blood tests primarily detect cancer, they do not prevent it.
*A positive result on a stool or blood test requires a follow-up colonoscopy.
*Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard as the only screening method that detects and removes precancerous polyps, actively reducing the risk of cancer development.
Don't wait—get screened today. Consult with your doctor to determine the most suitable screening method for your individual needs.
