Think colonoscopy is your only option for colon cancer screening? Think again. Dr. Angela breaks down all the screening methods available today—from at-home stool tests to simple blood draws—so you can finally stop putting off this life-saving preventive measure. Learn about FIT tests, Cologuard, Shield blood tests, and colonoscopy, including the pros, cons, sensitivity, and specificity of each. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., yet it's one of the most preventable. Find out which screening option is right for you and why the best test is the one that actually gets done. If you're over 45 and haven't been screened yet, this episode is your sign to take action.
