Prevention.

Prevention means doing tests without symptoms in order to identify early those risk factors for cancer. Examples are colonoscopy after age 45 to prevent colon cancer or upper endoscopy after age 40 to prevent stomach cancer. In some people they have to be done when they are younger because there is a relative with cancer. The objective of these exams is to find in a timely manner risk factors for cancer or tissue changes that imply a risk

Surveillance:

If previous exams have removed polyps from the colon or have diagnosed Barrett’s esophagus or intestinal atrophy or metaplasia of the stomach, it is necessary to carry out surveillance or follow-up to detect pre-cancerous changes or the appearance of new polyps in a timely manner.

Diagnosis:

In the treatment of digestive discomfort, it is very important to find and correct the root or roots of the problem and for this, tests such as endoscopy or colonoscopy must be performed. However, sometimes these tests are normal and we have to do others, such as if there is chronic diarrhea and everything goes well, we must do a small intestine test per capsule.
