Colorectal Cancer Screening
Everyone should see a doctor beginning at age 50 for screening tests for colorectal cancer. There are three types of screenings:

  • Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT) – is used to detect invisible amounts of blood in the feces, which can be a sign of several disorders, including colon cancer. This painless test involves a dab of a stool specimen on a chemically treated card, which is tested in a laboratory for evidence of blood.
  • Sigmoidoscopy – is an examination of the lower part of the colon with a flexible, lighted tool. If anything suspicious is found during the test, other tests, such as a colonoscopy, may be required.
  • Colonoscopy – uses a long, thin, flexible tube with a tiny video camera and a light on the end to view the entire colon.

Cytology for PAP Smears
