CRC Diagnosis

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most preventable cancers, especially when detected early. Screening is a powerful tool that helps identify cancer or precancerous polyps before symptoms appear, giving patients and caregivers a fighting chance to stop the disease in its tracks. While colonoscopy has long been considered the gold standard for CRC screening, non-invasive options like Cologuard and its enhanced version, Cologuard Plus, are gaining attention for their convenience and effectiveness. In this blog post, we’ll explore how these tests work, their accuracy, limitations, and whether they can replace traditional screening methods like colonoscopy or older stool tests such as FOBT.
