Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in U.S. men and women, but it’s also the most preventable with early detection. That’s why the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Task Force now recommend regular screenings for all adults starting at age 45.
At UCI Health, we’ve made it our mission to develop smarter, more effective methods for early detection of colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps. Using artificial intelligence, we’ve pioneered a screening process with a 96% accuracy rate. It’s world-class expertise and care, right here in Orange County.
