What is so innovative about the Colon Health Centers of America?
The CHC America CRC screening process represents the ultimate in patient convenience, comprehensiveness, and safety. The patent-pending CHC America process brings together the best aspects of CTC and traditional colonoscopy, and minimizes the limitations of both, in a way that cannot be replicated elsewhere. The majority of average risk patients (70-80%) who present for screening will not be found to have colon polyps or other abnormalities that would need to be removed. It is unfortunate that these patients have to undergo the additional risk and inconvenience of a traditional colonoscopy, only to find a “clean” colon. On the other hand, 20-30% of patients will have polyps and early cancers detected on CTC that will need to be removed. It is unfortunate that these patients need to undergo a colon prep for the CTC, and later will be notified that they will have to schedule an appointment for a traditional colonoscopy to remove the abnormalities, and undergo a second colon prep all over
