Patient Information
At Olympus, we're dedicated to helping make people's lives healthier, safer and more fulfilling. Since 1919, Olympus has worked to develop innovative solutions that help make a positive contribution to the lives of our customers and their patients.
We are committed to active participation in promoting public awareness and screenings that may help reduce the incidence of cancers and other health issues that our medical technologies can help physicians diagnose and treat. Below are several of the patient information sites that we provide to help patients learn more about their condition.
About Colorectal Cancer (CRC)
Colorectal (colon) cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer when detected early through regular screening. Screening tests can help identify polyps before they develop into cancer, helping to reducing your risk. Visit our CRC awareness site to learn more about available screening options.
About Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate, is a common condition that may affect your quality of life. Interrupted sleep and frequent bathroom visits can be disruptive and inconvenient at best. If you’d prefer a minimally invasive treatment for frequency or trouble with urine stream and/or urination, talk to your doctor about the iTind™ procedure.
About Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer can be difficult to diagnose early, but knowing your risk factors and possible signs may help. Our pancreatic cancer awareness site offers information on the disease and can help you find a screening facility in your area.
