Navigating colorectal cancer screening just added a new milestone to the toolbox. The FDA has approved SimpleScreen CRC by Freenome, marking the arrival of the second blood-based screening test option. While blood tests offer a convenient alternative for patients, it is vital to remember that colonoscopy remains the gold standard of screening. A colonoscopy is unmatched because it not only detects polyps, but allows our gastroenterologists to remove them during the exact same procedure, preventing cancer before it even starts. Staying proactive about your digestive health is the most powerful step you can take. Visit our offices to discuss the screening option that is right for your personalized care plan.
