La colonscopia (o colonoscopia, o ancora coloscopia) è un esame diagnostico volto a esplorare le pareti interne del colon, per scoprire eventuali lesioni, ulcerazioni, occlusioni, masse tumorali. È un importante strumento di prevenzione, che permette di individuare e, se necessario, rimuovere all'istante, dei tumori anche molto piccoli e in fase iniziale, impedendone lo sviluppo e la degenerazione. La colonscopia è consigliata come corretta attività di screening per tutti i soggetti a rischio: ad esempio per coloro che hanno familiarità con i tumori del colon; o comunque dopo i 50 anni, quando dall'esame delle feci si rileva la presenza di sangue, anche in tracce minime.
