JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (July 27, 2018) Capt. John Bassett (middle), a gastroenterologist at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, along with Hospitalman Wesley Ward (left) and Robert Hauser (right), an endoscopy technician, perform a colonoscopy on a patient. Bassett, a native of Fargo, North Dakota, says “Colonoscopies have the potential not only to detect colon cancer early, but to actually prevent the development of colon cancer by removing pre-malignant adenomas. Colon cancer screening should be performed starting at age 50 for average risk patients and age 45 for African Americans, according to the Multi-Society Task Force Guidelines. In May 2018, the American Cancer Society recommended colon cancer screenings begin earlier, at age 45 for average risk patients.” (U.S. Navy photo by Jacob Sippel, Naval Hospital Jacksonville/Released).
