The clinic of John Isaac Delgado, M.D. specializes in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of digestive disorders and diseases.
Our team offers expertise in performing colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, and colon cancer screening to address medical issues and concerns related to diverticulosis, minor rectal bleeding, Barrett's esophagus, and gastroesophageal reflux disease among others.
Understanding
Colonoscopy
Colonoscopy is a medical procedure recommended by doctors as a screening test for colorectal cancer. It involves the examination of the lining of your colon or large intestine for any signs of abnormalities. This is done through the insertion of a colonoscope, an instrument with its own lens and light source allowing the doctor to view images on a video monitor.
Understanding
Upper Endoscopy
Upper endoscopy is a procedure that allows your doctor to examine the lining of the upper part of your gastrointestinal tract: esophagus, stomach, and first portion of the small intestine called duodenum. This is done through the insertion of an endoscope - a bendable, narrow tube with a lighted camera - which transmits video images to a monitor, giving your doctor a clear view of what needs to be examined. Other names for this procedure include esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), upper GI endoscopy and panendoscopy.
Colon Cancer Screening
Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the country. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 100,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed in the United States every year and more than 50,000 Americans die annually because of it. Thanks to the excellent screening tools available (e.g. colonoscopy), this number has been decreasing. Learn about the different colon cancer screening options available to you.
