Cancer is a
disease in which cells in the body grow out of control. When cancer starts in
the colon or rectum, it is called colorectal cancer. Sometimes it is called
colon cancer, for short.
In the United States, it is
the third most common cancer for men and women.
People over age 50 have the highest risk of colorectal cancer. You may
also be at higher risk if you are African American, smoke, or have a family
history of colorectal cancer.
Of cancers that affect both
men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the
United States, but it doesn't have to be. Colorectal cancer screening saves
lives. Screening can find precancerous polyps—abnormal growths in the colon or
rectum—so that they can be removed before turning into cancer. Screening also
helps find colorectal cancer at an early stage, when treatment often leads to a
cure. About nine out of every 10 people whose colorectal cancers are found
early and treated appropriately are still alive five years later.
Colorectal polyps and
colorectal cancer don't always cause symptoms, especially at first. Someone
could have polyps or colorectal cancer and not know it. That is why getting
screened regularly for colorectal cancer is so important.
If you have symptoms, they may include:
Blood in or on
your stool (bowel movement).
Stomach pain,
aches, or cramps that don't go away.
Losing weight
and you don't know why.
If you have any of these
symptoms, talk to your doctor. They may be caused by something other than
cancer. The only way to know what is causing them is to see your doctor. Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don't
always cause symptoms, especially at first. Someone could have polyps or
colorectal cancer and not know it. That is why getting screened regularly for
colorectal cancer is so important.
The
best way to prevent colorectal cancer is to get screened regularly starting at
age 50. There are often no signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer – that’s why
it’s so important to get screened.
Everyone can take these healthy steps to help prevent
colorectal cancer:
Get screened
starting at age 50.
Quit smoking
and stay away from secondhand smoke.
Get active and
eat healthy.
While screening rates have
increased in the U.S., not enough people are getting screened for colorectal
cancer— As of 2008, 62.9% of adults aged 50–75 years
were screened as recommended. In 2002, only 51.9% of Americans were screened as
recommended.
While screening rates
continue to rise in the U.S., 22 million people are still not up-to-date with
colorectal cancer screening.
If your doctor has
recommended colon cancer screening, you might be able to choose from various
colon cancer screening tests. If you're reluctant to make a decision, remember
that any discomfort or embarrassment from colon cancer screening is temporary —
and detecting problems early could save your life.
If you are aged 50 or older,
get screened now. If you think you may be at higher than average risk for
colorectal cancer, speak with your doctor about getting screened early.
The health center has Fecal
Immunoglobulin test kits available at our office for the cost of $35. This test screens for digestive tract
bleeding, which may be an indicator of colon cancer. The recommendation is to have this test
beginning at age 50 as part of a routine examination to screen for colon cancer
or as directed by your doctor based on family medical history. The procedure
requires taking home a test kit and collecting fecal samples, which are then
submitted to our lab. The test must be
paid for in advance.

I'm 55-year-old from Korean, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations.
