Bowel cancer is preventable with early intervention. This is what makes it so important to use accurate screening methods to ensure early detection and safeguard your long term wellbeing. The MacMurray Centre offers a comprehensive bowel screening package to monitor your bowel health.

The package includes a full colonoscopy, which is considered the gold standard for bowel screening. It is performed painlessly and under sedation. A colonoscopy can identify both polyps and cancers. A polyp is not cancer, but over years has the potential to develop into cancer. These polyps are usually able to be removed during the colonoscopy procedure.

If cancer is detected during the screening process, the MacMurray Centre can determine the next best steps for treatment, which is usually a surgery known as a colectomy, which is the removal of the primary cancer.

The package includes a follow-up appointment with your Gastroenterologist to determine if any additional treatment is required. We have set up a comprehensive all-inclusive package to screen your bowel for bowel cancer and treat any polyps that are found. The cost of this is $2150 and includes the full colonoscopy and follow up appointment. No referral is necessary.
