Colon cancer screening is essential for early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, especially for individuals over 45 or those with a family history. In Mumbai, Dr. Harshad Joshi offers comprehensive colon screening programs tailored to individual risk profiles.
Many cases of colon cancer begin as colonic polyps, which are benign growths that may eventually become malignant. Regular screening, such as a colonoscopy, helps identify and remove these polyps before they develop into cancer. In some cases, advanced techniques like ESD (Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection) may be used for more complex or larger polyps.
Screening is particularly crucial for patients with ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, or long-term inflammatory bowel issues, as their risk for colon cancer is higher.
Early detection dramatically improves survival rates. By identifying abnormalities in their initial stages, treatment becomes less invasive and more effective.
