Do you feel the patient would be able to undergo a colonoscopy? For reference, a colonoscopy is a common colon cancer screening test. The test takes about 15-30 minutes to complete and requires preparation the day before in order to clear out the bowels. During the procedure, the patient is sedated, and the doctor inserts a special camera into the anus to allow for examination of the intestines.

Yes No
Do you feel the patient would be able to undergo a mammogram? For reference, a mammogram is a common breast cancer screening test that uses X-ray to take a picture of the breast. The patient's breast is placed on a flat plate and pressed down by another plate. This only takes a few seconds, but can cause discomfort for some patients.

Yes No N/A
Do you feel the patient would be able to undergo a breast MRI? For reference, a breast MRI takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete. The patient must remain as still as possible during the procedure. It is not an uncomfortable procedure, but IV is often used to transport the contrast dye, which requires a needle injection.

Do you feel the patient would be able to undergo a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) exam? For reference, a PSA exam requires a small amount of blood to be drawn from one of the patient's veins, most likely from their arm, using a small needle. There may be a minor stinging sensation when the needle goes in or out of the arm. This blood draw generally takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
