Study confirms safety of colonoscopy

Colon Cancer Awareness Month is about encouraging more people to get tested for colorectal cancer. Colonoscopy is the most reliable screening test. A current study from the German Cancer Research Center confirms that, contrary to what some critics say, it is also safe. If more people made use of screening tests, about half of all new colorectal cancer cases and deaths from this cancer could be avoided in Germany every year.
