Olympus Focuses on Colorectal Cancer
While you may be most familiar with our cameras, Olympus is a world leader in advanced medical and surgical products and we created the first camera that let doctors look inside the human body. As the global leader in providing solutions for digestive disease diagnosis and treatment, we believe it is our responsibility to help educate, inform and create awareness about the risks of colorectal cancer, and explain what you can do to prevent it.- Colorectal cancer is highly PREVENTABLE, TREATABLE, and often CURABLE when detected at an early stage.
- Regular screening tests may detect pre-cancerous polyps. Removal of these may prevent cancer from developing.
- Beginning at age 50, men and women should be screened regularly for colorectal cancer. People with a family history or other risk factors should talk to their doctor about being screened earlier.
- When detected and treated early, the five-year survival rate is over 90%.
