March was Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Dr. Steven Fassler a colorectal surgeon at CRA / Jefferson Health, is urging you to know the signs.

Colon cancer may present with rectal bleeding, lasting changes in bowel habits, abdominal pain that does not go away, unexplained weight loss or stools that appear thinner than usual. These symptoms can be caused by a number of conditions, but they should always be evaluated.

Staying aware is important, but staying current with screening is critical.

If you are due or have concerns, schedule your colon cancer screening today.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women. If detected early, colorectal cancer has a 95% cure rate. Colonoscopy is the most effective screening tool for early detection because it can find precancerous growths before symptoms appear, and prevent cancer.

 The risk for developing colorectal cancer increases with age. That’s why it’s so important to get a screening as recommended.
 

Is it time for your colonoscopy? These recommended screening guidelines will help you decide:

• For most individuals, begin screening at age 45.

• If you have a family history of colorectal cancer, consider getting screened earlier.
