Colonoscopy To Diagnose Parkinson's Disease

Colonoscopy To Diagnose Parkinson's Disease

Leading prostate cancer expert, Dr. David Samadi, shares exiting news about the potential use of a routine colonoscopy as an early diagnostic tool for Parkinson’s disease. Researchers found that the colonoscopy could one day help identify certain proteins in patients that could predict their likelihood of developing Parkinson’s over a 2-5 year period. While in its very early stages, the test could one day be used as a way of intervening the disease and slowing its progression before the symptoms of tremors, muscles rigidity, and slowed speech begin. Screenings of this kind are paving the way for the future of medicine and genetic testing.br www.roboticoncology.
