-- Dr. Graham Gibb, an accomplished general and colorectal surgeon, announces the implementation of fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) in Ontario in the near future. FIT is a screening test that can detect early signs of colon cancer, which is the third-most diagnosed type of cancer in Canada. Ontario provides a screening program, free of charge, to help protect citizens from this type of cancer. If signs of cancer are detected, doctors will discuss the options available.
Dr. Graham Gibb provides top-quality medical care to the Peterborough, Ontario community. A graduate of the University of Toronto’s MD Program, he has been trained in general and colorectal surgery at Calgary, Alberta and the University of Texas in Houston respectively. Since completing his specialization, Dr. Gibb has been serving Peterborough as a general and colorectal surgeon for the past 18 years.
There are numerous advantages to using FIT when screening for colorectal cancer. Patients do not need to do anything to prepare for the test, and it can be used in the comfort of one’s home. As medications and food do not interfere with the test, it tends to have fewer false-positive results and be more accurate than other tests as well. The test also can detect problems that can be treated before cancer develops or spreads when it is easier to manage.
As a member of the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons, and the Canadian Association of General Surgeons, Dr. Gibb is passionate about staying apprised of the latest evidence-based surgical knowledge. Quality of surgical care is a point of pride for Dr. Gibb, and he is recognized by his patients and peers for his compassionate and expert service.
