Not only do colonoscopies help detect and may remove the early signs of colon cancer, but they can also detect other abnormalities in your gastrointestinal tract. The study found a vast contrast in the survival rates between patients who were diagnosed with colon cancer through a routine colonoscopy and those who were not. If you have yet to receive a colonoscopy or believe you may be in need for treatment, contact Dr. Berookim at the Gastroenterology Institute of Southern California and schedule this lifesaving procedure!

Let's face it: the idea of a colonoscopy sounds scary and unpleasant. The procedure involves being under sedation while a long, thin tube is inserted into the rectum. On top of that, there's the dietary and medicinal restrictions one must follow before the outpatient procedure. Peyton P. Berookim, MD, a double board-certified gastroenterologist whose practice is located in Beverly Hills, will take great care and consideration as he works with you in figuring out what liquids, foods and medicines will need to be limited or eliminated ahead of the procedure. Dr. Berookim specializes in diseases of the digestive systems and is well versed in today's latest diagnostic methods, including the colonoscopy. Although the thought of it may make you quiver with fear, a colonoscopy is necessary not just because it detects colon cancer, but because it is also a proven way to help prevent it. Thus, it can literally help save your life.
