Colonoscopy (Cancer Screenings)

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States. If you are 50 or older, the American Cancer Society recommends a screening. Additionally, if there is a history of colorectal cancer in your family, you should check with your physician to discuss what screenings might be appropriate for you.

Colorectal cancer is 90% preventable with early, proper screening and University of Utah Health Care GI Services provides a full range of colonoscopy services at several convenient locations.
