Virtual Colonoscopy at Center for Prevention and Early Detection

About Us

A new world of medicine-one that predicts and prevents disease-is practiced at Alexian Brothers Hospital Network. Using state-of-the art computer imaging, the Alexian Virtual Colonoscopy screens for colon cancer. With early detection, colon cancer is highly treatable and with screening it's preventable.

Colon cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society recommends colon screening beginning at age 50. If you have a history of smoking, drinking, diabetes, or obesity, you are at a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer.
