There are options.There is a noninvasive alternative called virtual colonoscopy that could be an option for

you. Although colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, it’s also the most

preventable and treatable cancer with a 90% survival rate if detected early. Virtual colonoscopy

accurately screens for abnormal growths with less angst than a traditional colonoscopy.

• No sedation or downtime from daily activities

• Quick, safe, and easy exam—20–30 minutes

• Can also detect other abnormalities in the abdominal organs

Talk to your doctor about a virtual colonoscopy if you are:

•Age 50 or over and due for an initial or follow-up colon cancer screening

• Age 40 or over with a family history of colon cancer

To schedule an appointment, call 703-698-4488.
