Advantages of Colonoscopy
Unlike other screening tests for colon cancer, such as a barium enema or virtual colonoscopy, a colonoscopy allows the physician to look directly at the lining of your colon. This allows the doctor to identify smaller lesions which could be missed with other screening tests. Colonoscopy is the most effective method to detect and remove polyps. Polyp removal reduces cancer formation (up to 90% in some studies) and permits earlier detection of cancers which gives the patient a better chance for cure.
