show moreAt the beginning of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness month, we talk about colorectal cancer and the prevention of this form of cancer.
One of the best screening tools to help prevent colon or colorectal cancer is a colonoscopy. And colonoscopies are highly effective screening tools – considered the ‘gold standard’ - used to not only detect colon cancer, rectal cancer, and other conditions – but to actually help prevent these conditions from developing.
Colonoscopies are very safe, but not completely without risk. However, and this is what every gastroenterologist, every oncologist, and in fact, every physician will tell you, … colonoscopies are done every day by experienced physicians… But more importantly… they will tell you that your chances of getting colon or colorectal cancer far outweigh the possibility of complications from a colonoscopy.
In the program, Hofland, Stern, and Spielberg talk about one of the issues most patients undergoing a colonoscopy may find hard to deal with… It is what happens before the actual procedure: the preparation or prep.
With the HyGIeaCare® System, physicians can offer their patients a simpler and easier bowel prep for a colonoscopy.
