Colon Cancer Screening, Prevention and World-Renowned Care
Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer death among U.S. adults under 50, with rates rising in younger adults even as overall cancer deaths decline. At Montefiore Einstein, prevention and early detection are a priority. When detected early, colorectal cancer is often preventable and highly treatable. Screening can detect precancerous polyps, and colonoscopy allows doctors to remove them before they turn into cancer—often before symptoms appear.
As a leading referral center for colorectal cancer, we provide comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for complex and advanced cancers as well as newly diagnosed and earlier-stage disease. Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center is among the elite 1% NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S. — and we are ranked in the top 1% of all U.S. hospitals for cancer care and gastroenterology & GI surgery according to U.S. News & World Report.
