An irreverent nudge to stop putting off a conversation about screening. If you are due, ask your clinician which screening plan is appropriate for you.

This is a fictional, AI-generated campaign scene, not a patient testimonial or a promise of an individual outcome.

Colonoscopy can directly examine the colon and remove detected precancerous polyps. It can also miss lesions and has preparation, sedation, bleeding, perforation, and other burdens or risks. Stool-based screening remains a guideline-supported option; a positive stool test requires colonoscopy. Choose a screening plan you can complete with your clinician.

Colonoscopy First advocates high-quality colonoscopy for screening-eligible, average-risk adults who are medically appropriate, willing and have timely access. If colonoscopy is not an option, discuss another recommended screening method rather than remain unscreened.
