Understanding screenings
Our endoscopy labs provide diagnostic evaluations — including colonoscopies — to screen for colorectal cancer, which is a preventable disease when found early during the pre-cancerous stage. Multiple screening options are available for most patients.
Colonoscopy
This exam can reveal problem areas and identify changes in the colon earlier than ever before. Enhanced imaging technology, new tools and more effective medications now make it possible to remove polyps that were once impossible to remove.
Imaging
We use advanced imaging tools, including state-of-the-art endorectal ultrasound and MRI technology, to determine the stage of a cancer and guide further treatment.
We perform more than 300 colorectal surgeries each year
Our multidisciplinary team of colorectal cancer experts work together to provide comprehensive treatment options.
