Your Health Matters: Get Your Colonoscopy at St. Luke’s this March

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of early detection and prevention of colon cancer. St. Luke’s Medical Center is marking this important month by offering a special Colonoscopy Screening Package. This initiative aims to make this screening more accessible and affordable for those at risk.

Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide, but with early detection, it can be prevented. A colonoscopy is one of the most effective methods for detecting signs of colon cancer early. This minimally invasive procedure allows doctors to examine the colon for any abnormalities, such as pre-cancerous growths (polyps) before they develop into a serious problem. Identifying potential issues early enables more effective treatment and helps prevent cancer from progressing.

While colon cancer can affect individuals of all ages, those who are 50 years or older are at the highest risk, with over 90% of cases occurring in this age group. Other risk factors include a family history of colorectal cancer, smoking, obesity, heavy alcohol consumption, and certain medical conditions like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. If you have any of these risk factors, regular screening can help catch issues early when treatment is most effective. 

In celebration of Colon Cancer Awareness Month, St. Luke’s is offering this special Colonoscopy Package for just P36,000 throughout March. This package includes the colonoscopy procedure fee, as well as professional fees for the gastroenterologist and anesthesiologist, providing a comprehensive solution for your screening needs. With St. Luke’s special offer, taking care of your health has never been easier or more affordable.

 

The package is available at both St. Luke’s Medical Center - Quezon City and St. Luke’s Medical Center - Global City, allowing you to choose the most convenient location.
