Protecting Your Digestive Health Through Early Detection and Prevention
Colon cancer screening is one of the most effective ways to detect colorectal cancer early and, in many cases, prevent it altogether. Most colorectal cancers develop from precancerous polyps that grow slowly over several years without causing symptoms. Routine screening can identify these polyps before they become cancerous, improving treatment outcomes and reducing the risk of advanced disease.
Whether you’re due for your first screening or have an increased risk because of your personal or family medical history, a gastroenterologist can recommend the screening method that’s right for you.
Although anyone can develop colorectal cancer, certain factors may increase your risk.
Common risk factors include:
Having one or more risk factors doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll develop colorectal cancer, but it may affect when screening should begin and how often it should be repeated.
Dr. Saranya Addepally is a board-certified gastroenterologist with six years of clinical experience, treating a broad range of digestive and liver conditions. She is especially passionate about women’s GI health—areas where patients often feel overlooked or hesitant to seek care.
Her medical journey began in India, where she completed her training before moving to the United States to pursue advanced education in medicine and Gastroenterology at the University of Arkansas.
After several years in practice, she relocated to Houston to continue serving patients in the community. Following two years with a local group, she established her own practice, grounded in the principles and core values she believes are essential to delivering thoughtful, patient-centered care.
Most average-risk adults should begin screening at age 45. Some individuals may require earlier screening depending on family history or other risk factors.
The recommended interval depends on age, medical history, family history, and whether colon polyps have been identified.
Many colorectal cancers can be prevented through regular screening and removal of precancerous polyps.
No. Many polyps remain benign, but some types can become cancerous over time, which is why monitoring is important.
Most patients receive sedation and experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.
Patients with a family history may need earlier or more frequent screening. Our team can determine the most appropriate schedule based on your individual risk factors.
Fatty liver disease spans a broad range of severity: from early, reversible fat accumulation to forms with significant inflammation and fibrosis. Because this condition is often silent and intertwined with metabolic health, it requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
