We all strive for long-lasting health and to avoid factors that can cause poor quality of life or even death. Currently, the main causes for death are circulatory diseases, cancer and endocrine illnesses. In Germany, every forth adult dies of cancer among which colon cancer is the third leading cause.
Fortunately, most diseases, even malignant ones, are curable and often complete remission is possible to ensure a good or optimal quality of life. Yet, it is of utmost importance to detect the disease as early as possible before it causes symptoms.
This is where health screening can provide you with the possibility to rule out or detect an early-onset illness and lead to adequate treatment if necessary. General health screening is advisable starting at the age of 35-50 years.
