Should you get a Colonoscopy?

Should you get a colonoscopy? Find out with Dr. Moran. Screening colonoscopy prevents colon cancer. In developed countries, colon cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in non-smokers. People with risk factors get colonoscopy done early in life. Most of the population is at low risk but should have a screening colonoscopy at 50. I will review why. I will also show that screening colonoscopy is the best and most cost-effective test to do this. Screening colonoscopy will not only diagnose early precancerous polyps and cancer but removal of these polyps will prevent their transition into cancer.
