The simplest colon cancer screening test

MANILA, Philippines - Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death. But it often does not produce any obvious symptoms in its early stages. When symptoms appear, the cancer is already in its advanced stage where the cure rate is very low. Experts recommend colon screening as the best preventive measure against the disease. Get screened before symptoms appear.

Now, here’s great news for those who are seriously thinking of going through colon screening. Medicard Philippines, a leading health maintenance organization in the Philippines, in partnership with Colorectal Specialists Inc., the first and only SEC-registered group of colorectal surgeons in the Philippines, introduces EZ Detect, the new and more convenient home test kit to detect hidden blood in the stool, an early warning sign of colon cancer. The home test kit is an effective indicator of the presence of blood in the stool which cannot be seen by naked eyes.

To know more about EZ Detect, colorectal cancer and how to avoid it, visit the Colorectal Specialists Clinic at the third floor of Medicard Lifestyle Center at the corner of Paseo and Buendia streets, Makati. The Colorectal Specialists clinic is open from Monday through Friday at 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Also call Colorectal Specialists at 555-0832.
