Virtual Colonoscopy:

An Instrument for Key Screening CT colonography, Istanbul Med Assist offers a promising procedure called virtual colonoscopy, is an exciting method provided by Istanbul Med Assist. This cutting-edge screening equipment ensures patient comfort and safety by providing a non-invasive substitute for conventional colonoscopy.

Key Features and Benefits:

  • Safe and Pain-Free: Patients find virtual colonoscopy a very comfortable option because it doesn't involve sedation or anesthesia.
  • Quick and Efficient: The procedure takes approximately 10 minutes and uses low-dose radiation, ensuring minimal exposure.
  • 3D Imaging: Detailed three-dimensional images of the colon and surrounding abdominal organs enable precise diagnosis.
  • Comprehensive Screening: Approved for routine screenings every five years, it’s highly sensitive to abnormalities, comparable to conventional colonoscopy.
  • Broader Insights: Unlike conventional methods, it examines not only the colon but also other abdominal organs, enhancing the scope of diagnosis.

and stress the importance of regular screenings to lower the risk of colorectal cancer, the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Early detection through virtual colonoscopy can identify benign adenomatous polyps, which, if untreated, could develop into cancer.

Abdominal Ultrasound:

A Vital Diagnostic Equipment We also need to undergo an abdominal ultrasound as part of our gastrointestinal examination. This non-invasive imaging test evaluates organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and gallbladder. It’s instrumental in identifying conditions like liver disease, gallstones, and pancreatic abnormalities at an early stage.

Cancer Marker Screening:

Early Detection Saves Lives The chemicals that cancer cells or the body produces in reaction to cancer are known as cancer markers. Screening for these markers helps in the early detection of various cancers, increasing the likelihood of successful treatment. Istanbul Med Assist’s gastroenterology checkup includes detailed analysis of several key cancer markers:

  • Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA): utilized mostly for colorectal cancer detection. A vital indicator for care and prevention, elevated levels may signal either early-stage or advanced colorectal cancer.
  • CA 19-9: Commonly associated with pancreatic cancer, this marker aids in early diagnosis and monitoring of treatment effectiveness.
  • CA-125: Although primarily a marker for ovarian cancer, it is also elevated in metastatic breast cancer cases, showcasing its broader diagnostic value.
  • Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP): Used to detect liver cancers and certain liver diseases, helping in timely intervention and management.
  • Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA): A vital marker for prostate cancer in male patients.

These tests align with ACS guidelines, which advocate for the use of tumor markers in conjunction with other diagnostic methods to enhance accuracy and early detection.

Comprehensive Blood Tests:

Unveiling hidden health issues, our gastroenterology checkup includes an extensive range of blood tests to assess overall health and detect potential problems:

  • Nutritional and Metabolic Health: Tests for glucose, HbA1c, lipid profiles (LDL, HDL, triglycerides), and vitamin levels (D3, B12) provide insights into nutritional status and metabolic health.
  • Liver and Kidney Function: BUN, creatinine, bilirubin, ALT, AST, and other markers show how well these vital organs are doing.
  • Inflammatory Markers: Tests like CRP and ESR help identify inflammation that may indicate underlying conditions.
  • Iron and Related Parameters: Includes iron binding capacity, ferritin, and total iron levels to detect deficiencies or overloads.

These thorough blood tests aid in the early detection of risks enabling the proactive treatment of illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, and malnutrition.

Preventive Screening for Gastrointestinal Cancers

Even while colorectal cancer can be prevented and treated if caught early, it is still a serious health risk. According to the American Cancer Society, frequent screenings are essential since the majority of colorectal malignancies start off as benign polyps during a protracted preclinical phase. Istanbul Med Assist offers a strong defense against this illness through its preventive strategy, which includes virtual colonoscopy and cancer marker analysis. Similarly, screenings for pancreatic, liver, and ovarian cancers further enhance preventive care.
