Colonoscopy and colorectal cancer screening

Who should be screened?
Most adults at average risk should begin screening at age 45 and continue at regular intervals and adults aged 75 or older should schedule based on individualized health and prior screening history.

Your screening options
Approved strategies include colonoscopy (every 10 years), annual FIT or gFOBT stool tests, multitarget stool DNA (every 3 years), CT colonography (every 5 years) and flexible sigmoidoscopy (intervals vary). We’ll help you choose the best test for you.

Why colonoscopy remains preferred for many
Colonoscopy not only detects cancer, it allows polyp removal during the same procedure, helping reduce colorectal cancer incidence and mortality in screened populations.

What to expect on colonoscopy day

  • Before your procedure: You’ll complete a bowel prep the day before to ensure a clear view. Following instructions closely helps your doctor detect even small lesions
  • During colonoscopy: A flexible, lighted scope examines the colon. If a polyp is found, it can often be removed immediately (polypectomy). Sedation helps you stay comfortable
  • Afterward: Most people spend about 2 hours total for procedure plus recovery, then go home the same day with results explained by your clinician. Minor bleeding can occur and serious complications like perforation are rare in trained hands

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see GI?

Many patients can self-schedule, however, if your insurance requires a referral, our team will coordinate with your primary care provider.

When should I start colorectal cancer screening?

Most average risk adults start at 45 and continue through 75. Beyond that, decisions are individualized.

Is colonoscopy the only option?

No. Stool-based tests (FIT/gFOBT, multitarget DNA) and imaging (CT colonography) are approved. A positive non-colonoscopy test should be followed by timely colonoscopy.

How do I prepare?

You’ll receive clear prep instructions. Strictly following the prep improves detection and may prevent rescheduling.

What if a polyp is found?

Your clinician can often remove it during colonoscopy via a snare and most polyps are benign, but removing them helps prevent cancer.

Will insurance cover my colonoscopy?

Coverage often differs for screening vs diagnostic colonoscopy; check with your plan and we’ll help clarify benefits.
