Endoscopy
Screening
Doctors can use endoscopy to screen people for certain disorders, such as Colorectal Cancer . For example, people who are at high risk of developing colon cancer and people who are age 45 and older should undergo colonoscopy to detect polyps or other changes. Colonoscopy should be done every 10 years in people who have no risk factors for colon cancer or more frequently or at an earlier age in people who have had Polyps of the Colon and Rectum or have a family history of colon cancer.
