A colonoscopy could save your life. Experts say not to be too concerned about potential discomfort or dietary restrictions that come along with colorectal cancer screenings because most patients are sedated and have no memory of the experience.
Albany, NY – January 10, 2023 — Albany Gastroenterology Consultants today announced that it is now offering patients receiving a colonoscopy enhanced screening with the aid of GI GeniusTM intelligent endoscopy module. The GI GeniusTM module employs artificial intelligence (AI) to help physicians detect polyps—a powerful new ally in the fight against colorectal cancer.
The importance of screening for colorectal cancer has become even more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. National preventative colorectal cancer screening rates decreased significantly compared to before COVID. While there is still much work to be done, there is hope. With increased colorectal screening and state of the art treatment, we can detect cancer at earlier and curable stages, helping patients lead longer and healthier lives.
