According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women in the United States. Colorectal cancer often begins as a growth called a polyp, which may form on the inner wall of the colon or rectum. Some polyps become cancer over time. Finding and removing polyps through colonoscopy screening can help prevent colorectal cancer. MidMichigan Health Colon & Rectal Surgeon Kristin Busch, M.D., discusses the importance of early detection and explains the colonoscopy procedure.
