Colorectal cancer ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Despite being highly preventable and treatable when detected early, only around 40% of cases are diagnosed at an early stage.
Most cases of colorectal cancer begin as small, precancerous polyps in the colon. These polyps typically show no symptoms and can only be identified through screening.
At Amberwell, we have skilled general surgeon Dr. Roderick Warren, who is an expert at removing precancerous polyps and other growths during colonoscopies. This proactive approach is crucial in preventing the development or spread of cancer. While gastroenterologists (GIs) can perform colonoscopies, they may not always be able to remove larger polyps. At Amberwell, you can be confident that you are taking every necessary step to prevent colorectal cancer.
