Colonoscopy Screening Assessment

Are you at risk for colorectal cancer?

Early cancer detection is crucial. Since colorectal cancers typically begin as polyps, undergoing screenings for colorectal cancer is highly recommended by the American Cancer Society for early detection and measuring.

The colorectal cancer screening tool relies on established risk factors recognized by the medical community for colorectal cancer. We aim for this tool to facilitate a conversation about colorectal cancer risk and screening options with your doctor. However, it’s important to note that this tool does not constitute medical advice. The results from the tool will be provided shortly after completion by a member of the Capital Digestive Care team.
