Colon and Rectal Cancer Prevention
by pdesigns on Sep.07, 2010, under Preventive Medicine
Individuals over the age of 50 should have regular colon cancer screenings. There are a few different options available:
- fecal occult blood testing
- flixible sigmoidoscopy
- barium enema
- colonoscopy
- virtual colonoscopy
- stool DNA testing
If you are at an increased risk of colon cancer, such as having a family history of colon cancer, it is recommended to be screened more frequent. The Minneapolis Colon Specialist specializes in colon and rectal care. Services include colonoscopy, surgical services, and consultation.
