Colorectal cancer screening by Coronography(virtual colonoscopy)

Price: 7,000,000 VNĐ

Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly occurring cancer in men and the second most commonly occurring cancer in women. Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer.

American and European cancer organisations recommend that, starting at the age of 45, both men and women should be screened for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer by having either:

• A colonoscopy every 10 years, or
• A CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years

Some people should be screened using a different schedule because of their personal history or family history. Talk with your doctor about your history and what colorectal cancer screening schedule is best for you.

If you wish to be screened please click “Register” and you will be contacted by our staff.
