Protect Your Digestive Health with Early Colon Cancer Screening
In observance of Colon Cancer Awareness Month, St. Luke’s Medical Center encourages proactive health screening through its Special Colonoscopy Package. This offer helps with early detection and supports your long-term digestive health. Colon cancer often develops without noticeable symptoms in its early stages, making regular screening essential. When symptoms do appear, they may include:
Changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, constipation, or narrowing of stool
- Blood in or on the stool
- Persistent abdominal pain, cramping, or bloating
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue or weakness
- A feeling that the bowel does not empty completely
- Anemia
Because these signs may be subtle—or absent altogether—colonoscopy remains the most reliable method for detecting colon cancer early, even before symptoms develop.
Who Should Be Screened?
Colonoscopy screening is recommended for individuals who:
- Are 45 years old and above
- Have a family history of colon or colorectal cancer.
- Experience persistent digestive symptoms, such as changes in bowel habits or blood in the stool
- Have a history of colon polyps or inflammatory bowel disease.
- Plan to take a preventive approach, even in the absence of symptoms.
Your doctor can help determine the most appropriate screening schedule based on individual risk factors.
To make preventive screening more accessible, St. Luke’s offers a Special Colonoscopy Package that includes:
- Basic Colonoscopy
- Gastroenterologist’s Professional Fee
- Anesthesiologist’s Professional Fee
The package is available from March 1 to March 31, 2026, and is open to asymptomatic, outpatient individuals. It is not valid in conjunction with other promotional discounts. With experienced specialists, advanced medical facilities, and a strong commitment to preventive care, St. Luke’s empowers patients to take charge of their digestive health.
