What is Colon Cancer? Colon cancer is an abnormal growth of cells in the large intestine, or colon. Who gets it? Colon cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States; anybody can get colon cancer.
Can it be treated? When detected early, colon cancer has a very high cure rate. Up to 90% of cases can be cured without radical surgery.
Where does it come from? Colon tumors start out as small, benign growths - called POLYPS - in the lining of the colon.
Is it possible to keep polyps from developing into cancer? Colon cancer can be prevented by removing polyps, usually without surgery, before they develop into cancer.
What increases the risk for colon cancer? Your risk of colon cancer is increased if you have a parent, brother or sister with a history of polyps, colon cancer or other cancers. A regular program of prevention and early detection would be of special benefit to you.
If you have a history of polyps, ulcerative colitis or Crohn's Disease, then you are also at increased risk of colon cancer, and a regular program of prevention and early detection would be beneficial.
How do I know if I have polyps? With a variety of tests, a doctor can determine whether you have polyps. For most people who are 50 or older, periodic check-ups with the following tests are recommended:
Stool Blood Test Annually
Sigmoidoscopy Every 5 Years
Colonoscopy Every 10 Years
If your family or personal medical history puts you at increased risk of colon cancer, then you should have a colonoscopy every five years beginning at age 40.
How else can I reduce my chances of getting colon cancer? Studies suggest that your lifestyle may affect your chances of developing colon cancer. Experts suggest that you:
Decrease the amount of fat in your diet
Increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables
Maintain the proper body weight for your size
Engage in regular physical activity
