Colon Cancer Facts

Colon cancers are cancers that occur in the digestive tract.  It can be either in the large intestines or the rectum.

American Cancer Society estimates that

• more than 154,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year. (source: CDC)
• More than 52,0000 will die from it (source: CDC)

Early diagnosis with screening can improves the probability of successful treatment. However, disease prevention always better than disease screening.

Non-modifiable Colorectal Cancer Risk Factors:

• you are over age 50
• Have a personal history of colon cancer
• Have a personal history of colorectal polyps
• Have a personal history of inflammatory bowel diseases (e.g. ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease)
• Have a family history of colorectal cancer
• Ethnic background such as African Americans and Ashkenazi Jews

Modifiable Colorectal Cancer Risk Factors:

• High in saturated fat diet
• A sedentary lifestyle (e.g. a job that requiring much sitting)
• Obesity
• Smoking or Excessive alcohol intake
• Diabetes

You obviously can’t alter non-modifiable risk factors.  If you’ve any of these you should talk to your doctor about starting out your colorectal cancer screening before age 50. If you have a family history of colorectal cancers, you should start screening as early as possible.

Though we cannot change the non-modifiable risk factors, we can alter or get rid of modifiable risk factors by altering our diet, increasing your physical activity, losing weight, or taking certain supplements or vitamins.
