Northside 101: Colorectal cancer


Colorectal cancer often develops without early symptoms, making screening especially important. Dr. Gordon Robbins, a gastroenterologist with Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates, part of United Digestive, partners with Northside Hospital Cancer Institute to discuss colorectal cancer screening and prevention.

In this video, learn about potential symptoms to watch for, risk factors such as family history and lifestyle habits that may help lower your risk. Understanding when and how to get screened can help detect colorectal cancer early and even prevent it.

If you have concerns about symptoms or your personal risk, talk with your doctor about the screening option that may be right for you.

At Northside Hospital Cancer Institute, we view cancer not as the end, but as the start of a journey toward a healthier, more empowered life.
