Colonoscopy Assist is a brand that aims to promote affordable colon cancer screening through its program. As a free resource to the public, this program offers a variety of services at affordable pre-negotiated rates. These services include colonoscopy (screening or diagnostic), upper endoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, virtual colonoscopy, Cologuard, and FIT tests.

Financial assistance is also available for patients who are unable to afford these services. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but early diagnosis often leads to a complete cure. Colon cancer typically starts in glands in the lining of the colon and rectum.

Risk factors for colon cancer include age, African American or Eastern European descent, a diet high in red or processed meat, cancer elsewhere in the body, colorectal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, family history of colon cancer, and certain genetic syndromes. The brand also provides information about colon cancer causes, symptoms, prevention, exams, and tests, as well as treatment options. With proper screening, colon cancer can be detected before symptoms develop, increasing the chances of successful treatment.

Treatment options may include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy, depending on the stage of the cancer. The overall outlook for colon cancer is positive when caught early, with the majority of patients surviving at least 5 years after their diagnosis
