On September 30th, we observe National Colorectal Cancer Day. Did you know that each year, over 9,000 people in Portugal are diagnosed with cancers associated with the intestine? This is an alarming number, but there is a powerful weapon in the fight against this disease: early screening.
At IMP Diagnostics, we have a specialized unit in gastrointestinal pathology comprised of 18 Pathologists and equipped with state-of-the-art technology, allowing us to perform over 100,000 examinations per year with maximum efficiency. Additionally, we invest in Artificial Intelligence projects that are transforming early cancer detection, increasing the accuracy and speed of diagnosis.
It’s true! Colorectal cancer, also known as colon cancer, rectal cancer, or bowel cancer, is the second leading cause of death in Portugal. Early detection through recommended screening can reduce the risk of death by more than half in many cases.”
We are, therefore, your trusted partner, supporting the process from initial screening, through surgery, to treatment. You can rely on IMP Diagnostics and its team of pathologists with specific know-how, equipped with state-of-the-art technology.
