Colon Cancer & Polyp Screening

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers if detected early. Screening is designed to find and remove precancerous growths (polyps) before they can ever develop into a serious issue.

Who It’s For?

Anyone with a positive National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (FOBT) kit, a personal history of polyps, or a family history of bowel cancer.

Other reasons to check for bowel cancer with a colonoscopy include a change in bowel habit, iron deficiency, blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss or abdominal pain.

How We Help?

We provide seamless, priority access for screening colonoscopies at The Sydney Private Hospital and Strathfield Private Hospital. During the routine day-stay procedure, our gastroenterologists can instantly and painlessly remove any identified polyps, effectively preventing cancer from forming.
