"I had the best experience with PE and Dr. Bohning and his team last week. That made my day. In and out of there fast. Got a comprehensive report. They explained everything really well and made me feel like a patient and not a piece of meat. Glad I met you guys. I’m sorry I put off getting the endo too. He was totally able to fix my heartburn".
Shawn Ryan, of Evesham, New Jersey, went to get a colonoscopy when he turned 50, following the advice of the medical community to get screened early. However, the results of that procedures altered the next few years of his life.
Colon cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the Unites States, with 136,000 new cases diagnosed each year. The odds of developing colon cancer in your lifetime is 1 in 20. Having a colonoscopy with removal of pre-cancerous polyps reduces that cancer risk by 90%! Colonoscopy should be considered a colon cancer prevention test, not just to detect cancer at an early stage.
For people at average risk of cancer (without family history of colon cancer or polyps) screening colonoscopy should start at age 50 (45 for African Americans). Talk with your physician about colon cancer screening, and make sure you are not one of the almost 23 million people in America who have not had colon cancer screening.
