Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer

Symptoms are rare in the early stages of colorectal cancer, so regular screenings are important. If symptoms are present, they may include blood in your stool, changes in bowel habits, anemia, or persistent stomach discomfort. If symptoms are found, don’t wait, find a doctor at one of our locations to schedule a screening for colorectal.

Symptoms

In the early stages there may be no symptoms. As the cancer develops you may experience:

• Changes in bowel movements such as diarrhea or constipation
• Blood in stool
• Abdominal pain, bloating, cramping, or gas
• Unintentional weight loss 10lbs
• Weakness or fatigue
• Nausea and vomiting

Early detection is crucial for prevention

The best prevention is routine screenings. Regular colon screenings are the best way to prevent or catch colorectal cancer early. Knowing your family history assists in early detection and maintaining a healthy diet, rich in fruits and vegetables, can also lower your overall risk.

Our Fast Track Colonoscopy program, also known as Open Access Endoscopy, offers a convenient and efficient path to your screening. If you are considered at average risk for colon cancer, you may be able to skip the traditional pre-screening office visit or consultation, saving you time.

• Check Eligibility: Confirm you meet the criteria for a Fast Track Colonoscopy (see below).
• Schedule Directly: Simply schedule your Fast Track (Open Access) screening appointment.
• One-Day Convenience: Come to one of our locations on your appointment day. We will conduct your consultation, the screening procedure, and any necessary operative care (such as polyp removal) all on the same day.

This efficient approach is a smart way to proactively manage your health and could actually prevent colon cancer.

Are you a candidate for a fast track colonoscopy?

Fast Track Colonoscopy screenings are designed for individuals who meet specific criteria. You may be an ideal candidate if you DO NOT have any of the following:

• Pre-existing medical conditions that might complicate a procedure without prior consultation (e.g., severe heart, lung, or kidney disease; uncontrolled diabetes; active substance abuse).
• Prior individual or family history of colorectal cancer.
• Active rectal bleeding or unexplained abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or sudden weight loss.

If you have any of these conditions, a traditional consultation will ensure tailored and safe care.
