Patients now have a simpler, less invasive way to get tested for colon cancer
DUE to increased awareness, 75 percent of women today are up to date with breast cancer screening, including breast exams and mammograms, improving rates of early detection and saving countless lives. Similarly, rates of cervical cancer have declined steadily since introduction of the Pap test 70 years ago and even more so since approval of ThinPrep in the 90s. In fact, 80 percent of women are in compliance with recommended screening, and the number of cervical cancer deaths has dropped by 50 percent over the past three decades.
