Colonoscopy

Grand Island Regional Medical Center offers traditional and advanced technology to detect problems in the gastrointestinal tract. It is important to know the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer, and speak to your healthcare provider to assess your need for a colonoscopy.

About Colorectal Cancer and Colonoscopy

Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers, and one of the most preventable if precancerous polyps are found early. Everyone should be screened for colon cancer beginning at age 45, and earlier if you have a family history or are having symptoms.

Symptoms may include:

  • Changing bowel habits
  • Persistent abdominal discomfort
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Weakness/Fatigue
  • Unexplained Weight Loss

A colonoscopy uses an endoscope, a thin flexible tube with a light and camera, to view your colon. Your doctor may remove polyps or obtain biopsies for diagnostic purposes during the procedure.

Talk to your doctor about getting a colonoscopy. It can prevent colon cancer and save your life.
