Colon Cancer Screening
Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. About 15% of women and 25% of men who undergo screening colonoscopy have a potentially precancerous polyp, though many people with polyps have no symptoms. Early detection with screening colonoscopy can save your life. There are therapies for all stages of colon cancer, but the earlier the stage, the better the prognosis.

Endoscopy/Colonoscopy:
In our advanced Crystal Run Ambulatory Surgery Center and onsite Endoscopy Suites, our world-class gastroenterologists perform colonoscopy – a potentially lifesaving procedure that can detect colon cancer or other pre-cancerous conditions – as well as other same-day GI (gastrointestinal) procedures including Upper Endoscopy, also known as EGD or esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Colonoscopy and Upper Endoscopy are offered in Middletown, Newburgh, Rock Hill, and West Nyack.
At Crystal Run, we also offer Capsule Endoscopy—a small battery-operated video camera in the form of a pill that is swallowed and which travels through your digestive system, taking some 56,000 pictures along the way. The pictures provide your gastroenterologist with an inside view of your small intestines and areas that often cannot be seen with traditional endoscopy. This helps facilitate the accurate diagnosis of certain digestive diseases that might otherwise go undetected.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), or echo-endoscopy, is a medical procedure in which endoscopy combines with ultrasound to obtain images of the internal organs in the chest and abdomen. A GI doctor will most commonly use EUS to look at the upper digestive tract and in the respiratory
system.
