Open Access Colonoscopy
A Program That Makes Screening Even More Convenient
Colon cancer is now the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the USA. The incidence is equal in both men and women. For patients with no family history of colon cancer, the current recommendation for screening (by the American Cancer Society) is at age 50. Future exams are planned based on the findings. What is Open Access Colonoscopy?
Open Access Colonoscopy is a program that the Charleston Gastroenterology Center has designed to allow well patients without significant gastrointestinal symptoms to have a colonoscopy WITHOUT the inconvenience of a preliminary office visit. It saves time, money, and most importantly it saves lives. To Enroll
