Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in Pennsylvania and the United States. If detected early, this cancer has a 90% survival rate. Early detection can mean the difference between life and death, and most colon cancer related deaths can be prevented. Our team at Keystone Health stands by to assist you in any way we can.
You might be interested to know that although colonoscopies are a very effective way to screen for colon cancer, there are alternative screening methods that could work for you. In many cases, colorectal cancer can be screened by using a simple at-home kit that can be completed in the privacy of your home
and mailed to the lab in a self-addressed stamped envelope.
For more information on screening or to speak with a Keystone physician regarding your screening, please call Keystone Family Medicine at (717) 709-7999, or Keystone Internal Medicine at (717) 709-7970.
