为你的结肠直肠健康做筛查
结肠镜检查是预防或早期发现结直肠癌的最好方法。只需要一天的时间和一次筛查，就能保护自己免受第二大致命癌症的伤害。
有时，人们会因为担心时间、成本、尴尬或缺乏症状而选择推迟这些筛查。即使没有家族史、体征或危险因素，你仍然有风险。

Colonoscopy is one of the most common colon screening procedures. This screening is unique as it also helps prevent cancer. During the procedure, your doctor will remove polyps that could develop into cancer.
Colorectal screen-at-home options are also available. With these tests, you’ll collect your own stool sample and complete a test every one to three years.
