Updated colonoscopy prep

content
A colonoscopy helps doctors find and remove polyps before they become cancer. To prepare, your colon must be cleaned using a bowel prep, usually taken as powders, tablets, or liquids. New prep formulas with less volume and better taste are making the process easier for patients, helping them stay on track with regular screenings.

Newer screening options

content
For people with colorectal cancer symptoms or other digestive issues that make getting a colonoscopy difficult, new blood and stool tests are other screening options. These tests don’t replace a colonoscopy. But they can help detect signs of cancer in people unable to have one.

Early detection

The earlier colorectal cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. Screening should begin at age 45 for most people, but those with a family history or other risk factors may need to start earlier. Talk to your doctor about the best screening method for you.

Taking action today can help prevent colorectal cancer tomorrow. Screening isn’t just about finding cancer—it’s about stopping it before it starts.
