The frequency of the cancer of the colon and rectum has increased rapidly in the recent years. Over 1400 patients per year gets sick in Slovenia, causing the disease to rank as the second most common cancer in men and third in women.

The most common discovery in colonoscopy are polyps. Over the years, these growths might develop in colon cancer. Often the polyps are detected at preventive health checks when they do not yet cause any problems. During the examination they are removed, which significantly reduces the risk of developing cancer.

Frequently asked questions

About

Why is gastroenterological checkup so important?

In almost a third of patients examined with gastroscopy we discover gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), in which proper nutrition and timely medication are very important for improving their quality of life.
Due to the increasing incidence of colon cancer, whose incidence in both genders is third among all carcinoma types, it is very important to screen for precancerous changes (polyps) in the colon. Every year more than 1,400 patients in Slovenia develop colon cancer. In more than 95 per cent it develops from a precancerous polyp, so we try to find these growths and promptly remove them. Due to these facts, colonoscopy is a recommended part of preventive health checks in subjects over age 45.
