Overview
Bowel cancer is highly treatable when caught early. Screening identifies polyps before they become cancerous. If cancer is suspected, rapid expert evaluation allows fast treatment planning.
Colonoscopy is the gold standard. Dr Sivaji performs careful examination, takes biopsies if needed, and discusses results and next steps clearly.
