Colon Cancer Screening

What if you could reduce your risk of colon cancer with a simple test? You can.

A colonoscopy is the most reliable way to prevent and detect colon cancer, and UMHS is your most reliable health care partner along the way.

Our compassionate staff take time to explain procedures, make sure you’re comfortable and deliver your results immediately.

So, the next time you think, “What if there was a test for colon cancer?” Remind yourself that there is. This simple, 1-hour test can end your worries - and maybe even prolong your life.

Why Choose the University of Michigan for your Screening Colonoscopy?

When it comes to colon cancer screening, it’s important to choose the most experienced health care team. And our numbers speak volumes.

Our experienced, board-certified gastroenterologists have performed more than 100,000 colonoscopies in the last 10 years. And U.S. News and World Report ranks our digestive disorders physicians group as the top program in Michigan.

We find polyps in at least 30 percent of men and 20 percent of women over the age of 50, and we monitor our physicians' "scope withdrawal time" performance to ensure they measure up with polyp detection rates.

At U-M, you don’t need a referral from your primary care doctor, unless you belong to an HMO. Just give us a call.

Why choose UMHS? Why go anywhere else?
