What is Endoscopy?

Endoscopy is a safe assessment using a long, thin, fibreoptic endoscope that has a light source and camera at one end through the throat or anal. High-definition images will be transmitted to a display, allowing specialists to check for abnormal tissue, ulcers or inflammation of digestive tract. Any abnormalities will be diagnosed and treated by specialists, suspected tissue samples will be retained for examination under microscopy.

Early Detection & Prevention against Cancers​

When it comes to cancer, early detection is crucial, as symptoms of early-stage cancer can go unnoticed. According to 2020 figures from the Hong Kong Cancer Registry, colorectal cancer was the second most common form of cancer in Hong Kong and accounted for 14.9% of all new cancer cases. Current research suggests that removal of colon polyps lowers the chances of cancer, and removal of colon polyps can help reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by 3 to 8 times.

Polys of the esophagus, stomach and large intestine can be treatable via endoscopy. An endoscope offers valuable insight into the health of your body from the inside.
