Why Digestive Cancer Screening Matters
Cancers of the colon, stomach, and esophagus often develop silently, with few or no symptoms in the early stages. Screening can detect precancerous changes and early cancers when treatment is most effective. Colorectal cancer in particular is highly preventable when polyps are removed during colonoscopy.
