Beginning at age 50 both men and women should be screened for colorectal cancer. Our screening services include:

- Flexible sigmoidoscopy
- – a procedure during which the physician inserts a flexible lighted tube containing a camera into the colon through the anus to check for polyps and other potential signs of cancer
- Genetic counseling
- – can help you learn the role family history plays in cancer risk, your personal cancer risk, whether genetic testing is appropriate for you, etc.
- 3D trans rectal ultrasound with ultrasound guided biopsy
- – provides better staging and treatment management of colorectal cancers
