Colon cancer is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. At Texas Gastroenterology Center PLLC, we prioritize the early detection and prevention of colon cancer through our comprehensive colon cancer screening services. By detecting abnormalities in the colon at an early stage, we aim to reduce the risk of colon cancer and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
Colon cancer often develops from precancerous polyps in the colon or rectum. Regular colon cancer screening is essential as it allows for identifying and removing these polyps before they can progress into cancerous growths. Early detection through screening significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and long-term survival.
Colonoscopy is a widely recognized and highly effective screening method. During this procedure, a flexible tube with a camera called a colonoscope is inserted into the colon to visualize the colon lining and identify any polyps or abnormalities. If necessary, polyps can be removed and sent for further analysis.
FOBT is a non-invasive test that detects small amounts of blood in the stool, which may be an indicator of colon cancer or precancerous polyps. This test can be done at home using a kit provided by our clinic.
Similar to FOBT, FIT also detects blood in the stool. However, FIT explicitly targets the human hemoglobin protein, offering improved accuracy and reduced false positives.
