Colon cancer is the #2 cause of cancer deaths in the United
States, but it is also one of two preventable cancers.
Our Gastroenterology Clinic in Fort Walton Beach provides colonoscopy
screenings as a preventive measure to reduce your risk of colon
cancer. A colonoscopy screening is a procedure for individuals who
are not experiencing any pain or symptoms, and is helpful in the
diagnosis or evaluation of various GI disorders, including colon
cancer. During the colonoscopy, your gastroenterologist can both
identify and remove precancerous polyps.
Patients with a family history of colon cancer/colon polyps should
schedule a screening colonoscopy at age 40. If you have no family
history of colon cancer, you should schedule a screening colonoscopy
at age 50. If you are experiencing any gastrointestinal symptoms,
you should contact your primary care physician immediately.
The White-Wilson gastroenterologists perform routine colonoscopy
screenings at the
Emerald Coast Surgery Center. A screening colonoscopy is an
outpatient procedure, and patients can expect to be home that day.
The Facts About Colon Cancer:
- Polyps are pre-cancerous tissue often discovered and removed
during a colonoscopy, thus preventing cancer development.
- The majority of people with polyps or early colon cancer
do not have any symptoms.
- 70% of colon cancer patients do not have a family history
of colon cancer.
- Everyone is at risk, and colon cancer equally affects men
and women.
