Colon cancer screenings
Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, but it doesn’t have to be. This type of cancer can be treated or even prevented through regular screening, which should begin at age 45 for most people. According to the American Cancer Society, when colorectal cancer is found at an early stage before it has had the chance to spread, the five-year relative survival rate is about 90%.
Colon cancer can present with a variety of symptoms, and it’s important to be aware of the most common signs:
- Bleeding from the rectum
- Blood in the stool
- Frequent vomiting
- New and lasting constipation or diarrhea
- Persistent abdominal pain and/or bloating
- Unexplained weight loss
It’s important to note that colorectal cancer often presents no symptoms until it has advanced. That’s why early detection is key. Individuals at average risk should begin screening for colon cancer at age 45. Most guidelines do not recommend screening for asymptomatic individuals under 45 unless they have a positive family history or an inherited predisposition.
Risk factors for developing colorectal cancer include:
- A diet high in fats
- A history of ovarian or uterine cancer before age 50
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Family history of polyps or colon cancer
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Lack of exercise
- Obesity
- Previous personal history of colon polyps
- Smoking
During a colonoscopy, your doctors will examine the inner lining of the colon and rectum using a long, flexible tube with a camera on the end. This helps them identify and remove polyps, which are abnormal cell growths that may develop into cancer if left untreated. Colonoscopies are typically done under light sedation, making it a safe and relatively pain-free experience for most patients. Patients are typically discharged the same day of their procedure to return home.
Patients do not need a referral to schedule a colonoscopy. To learn more about colonoscopies, please call us.
