Virtual Colonoscopy
Colon Cancer is the 3rd Most Common Cancer in Men & Women Today
The age for Colon Cancer Has Been Reduced from 50 to 45, and Preventive Detection Can Save Your Life
Facts About Colon Cancer
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in both men and women in the United States. Traditional colon cancer screenings and colonoscopies, while effective, can be invasive and carry certain risks. Virtual colonography scans offer a less invasive and more comfortable alternative that can detect colon cancer at an early stage.
According to the American Cancer Association, colon cancer screening should begin at age 45 for most adults. However, if you have a family history of colon cancer or other risk factors, screening should begin earlier. Risk factors include a history of inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle.

Virtual colonography scans use advanced imaging technology to create detailed images of the colon. These scans are non-invasive and do not require sedation or a hospital stay. They are also quick, usually taking less than 30 minutes.
Early detection is crucial in the fight against colon cancer. When colon cancer is detected at an early stage, the five-year survival rate is around 90 percent. However, when colon cancer is not detected until it has spread to other parts of the body, the five-year survival rate drops to around 14 percent.
