Services Offered by the Endoscopy Department

What is the Endoscopy Department?

The Endoscopy Department specializes in conducting diagnostic procedures such as gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The main goal of endoscopic screening is to detect cancer at an early stage and begin timely treatment. Using a scope to examine the lining of the digestive tract, we can detect changes in the mucous membranes. If needed, tissue samples are taken and analyzed under a microscope to determine whether the findings are benign or malignant.
Because the risk of gastrointestinal disease increases in one’s 40s, it is strongly recommended to begin regular endoscopic screenings from age 40.
