◎Early endoscopy is recommended for early diagnosis and treatment of gastric and colon cancer ◎
Generally, early stage cancer is asymptomatic. Cancers found after symptoms appear are often advanced cancers.
Although it is often put off because of reluctance, it is recommended to have an endoscopy as soon as possible rather than having it detected after advanced cancer has developed.
