Colon cancer and Polyps
Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer when detected early. Most colon cancers begin as small, noncancerous growths called polyps. Dr. Federica Fabris specializes in high-quality screenings to identify and remove these growths before they can develop into more serious conditions.
What are colon polyps?
Polyps are small clusters of cells that form on the lining of the colon. While most are harmless, some can become cancerous over time.
How are polyps detected and removed?
Dr. Fabris performs painless colonoscopies to thoroughly examine the colon. If polyps are found, they are typically removed immediately during the same procedure.
When should I start screening?
Routine screening is generally recommended starting at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history of colon cancer or symptoms.
What are the warning signs?
Early polyps often have no symptoms. However, you should seek a consultation for persistent changes in bowel habits, rectal bleeding, or unexplained abdominal pain.
