Importance of colonoscopy
A colonoscopy offers the best protection against colon cancer, the third leading cause of cancer death. Studies suggest that colonoscopies reduce deaths from colorectal cancer by 60 - 70 percent (source: National Cancer Institute).
It is recommended that everyone aged 45 - 75 get regular colon cancer screenings. Talk to your doctor about screening options.
