Preventive care is a powerful way to keep you and your family healthy. March is Colon Cancer Awareness month. Beginning at age 50 (45 if you are African-American), you should talk to your doctor about how often you should have a colonoscopy. This procedure, which allows the physician to detect and remove polyps, can significantly reduce cancer risk, and can increase the chances of early detection of cancer. Bennie Upchurch, M.D., (pictured) leads the team of Creighton Medical Associates physicians who provide colonoscopies. Talk to your doctor about this important preventive procedure.
