No...because cancer is not caused by a "dirty" colon. Do you really think cancer could be reduced by "Spring Cleaning"? Get the colonoscopy, you'll be plenty clean, after the prep!

So, if a patient where to get (a good intestinal cleanse)at lease two time per year, does that reduce the chance of colon cancer?

Comarow On Quality

U.S. News's Avery Comarow has been editor of the America's Best Hospitals annual rankings since they first appeared in 1990. His reporting on clinical medicine, from the latest cholesterol guidelines to robotic surgery, has been driven by the question: What does this mean to patients? And that is the perspective he brings to his observations and commentaries on the increasing number of programs by hospitals and other healthcare providers to improve care and patient safety.
