Dr. Amit Yelsangikar, Consultant - Medical Gastroenterology, explains the rising concern of colon cancer in India. Colon cancer can often be hereditary, and screening colonoscopy at 45 is vital to detect early-stage cancer or pre-cancerous polyps. Early detection allows treatment using endoscopic techniques, potentially avoiding major surgery and achieving nearly 100% cure rates. Aster CMI Hospital, equipped with advanced high-definition endoscopy, offers early detection and expert care.
