Most colon polyps don’t cause symptoms —> That means you can have one and not even know it.

Over time, certain types of polyps can develop into colorectal cancer, which is why routine screening is so important.

Colonoscopies don’t just detect cancer.
They help prevent it!

March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month🎗️

Our founder, Dr. Gene Overholt, helped pioneer the technology that shaped modern colonoscopy. Today, the physicians at Gastrointestinal Associates continue advancing colon cancer prevention through screening, early detection, and expert digestive care for patients across East Tennessee.

Colon cancer is highly preventable when detected early. Talk with your doctor about when you should begin colon cancer screening.

There are a lot of myths about colonoscopies.

The truth?
Colon cancer often develops without symptoms and most colonoscopies are performed under sedation.

Screening saves lives. 💙

03/02/2026

Colorectal cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the United States. But there’s good news, death rates have been declining for decades!

Why?
Because screening works.

When polyps are found early, they can be removed before they turn into cancer. And when cancer is detected early, it’s much easier to treat.

Prevention and early detection save lives.

✔️ Get screened starting at age 45
✔️ Maintain a healthy lifestyle
✔️ Stay physically active
✔️ Don’t ignore symptoms

This March, take the first step. 💙
