GI Cancer Screenings in Texas

Early Detection. Lifesaving Results.

At Gastroenterology and Advanced Metabolic Institute of Texas, we believe in taking a proactive approach to digestive health. GI cancer screenings are essential tools that allow us to detect cancer early—when it’s most treatable—and in some cases, prevent it altogether. Our advanced screening options help patients stay ahead of serious conditions with confidence and clarity.

Routine screening can identify cancer in the gastrointestinal tract before symptoms arise. Colorectal cancer is the most common GI cancer we screen for, but we also evaluate risk for cancers of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, and bile ducts. For patients with family history, chronic GI issues, or elevated risk factors, screenings can be the difference between catching cancer early and missing a critical diagnosis.

Who Should Be Screened for GI Cancers?

You may be a candidate for screening if you:

• Are 45 or older (colonoscopy is recommended for colorectal cancer)

• Have a family history of GI or colorectal cancers

• Live with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

• Experience chronic symptoms like acid reflux, bloating, or unexplained weight loss

• Have risk factors such as smoking, obesity, or hepatitis B/C

At our clinic, we offer a range of screening options based on your unique health profile. Colonoscopy remains the gold standard for detecting and even preventing colorectal cancer. During this procedure, we can identify and remove precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer. For other cancers, we may recommend imaging, bloodwork, or upper endoscopy, depending on your risk and symptoms.

Our team is committed to your comfort throughout the process. Most procedures are performed under sedation, and we take the time to explain every step and result so you feel informed and empowered. Should anything abnormal be found, we offer rapid follow-up and coordination with specialists to ensure you get the care you need—without delay.
