Virtual Colonoscopies Added onto Recommended List
The American Cancer Society and the American College of Radiology have released their yearly report about colorectal cancer and recommended treatments, detection methods and available procedures. New to this year's highly regarded list is virtual colonoscopies. These guidelines outline a number or wise options for colon cancer screening and allow the patient to discuss them with their physician. Many patients had complained to the organizations that their physicians did not tell them about virtual colonoscopies.
Screening and surveying colon polyps at early is key to survival rates among patients with colon cancer – early detection methods like virtual colonoscopies not only eliminate the hassle of invasive traditional testing methods, but also the time and embarrassment factor as well.
