Colon Cancer

Be Proactive About Prevention

Did you know that colorectal screenings can not only detect the presence of cancer, they can stop it from even forming? Colorectal cancer is now the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in America — and more than 90% of those cases are curable if diagnosed early.

Whether you need a routine colonoscopy or advanced cancer care, our digestive health team at AdventHealth Manchester is here for you with expertise and compassion. We’re committed to providing innovative, whole-person care that utilizes the latest breakthroughs and state-of-the-art technologies. You deserve only the best when it comes to your health.

Estimate Your Colon Cancer Risk

Our quick and confidential assessment estimates your colon cancer risk so you can take charge of your health. While it can’t replace an evaluation by your physician, it’s a good starting point to better understand your health, inform conversations with your health care provider and get the best possible care.

We’re here to help you find the right physician or a location that’s convenient for you.
