Due to an increased incidence of colon cancer in younger adults, the American Cancer Society now recommends patients start regular screenings at age 45, or younger for those who have a family history of colon cancer.
Why a Colonoscopy?
Did you know that there’s been an increase in colorectal cancer diagnosis in younger adults?
If you’re 45 years old, schedule your colonoscopy today.
Colorectal cancer is preventable if found in an early stage. A colonoscopy is the only screening exam that not only checks for cancer, but also treats it by removing cancerous polyps.
What Are the Symptoms of Colon Cancer?
Colon cancer will often present no symptoms and can be fatal if diagnosed late.
Should symptoms occur, they may include:
- Blood in your stool
- A change in bowel habits
- Unexplained pain in your stomach
- A lump in your abdomen
- Reduced appetite or unexplained weight loss
- Dizziness, tiredness or breathlessness
Make Your Health a Priority
If you’re over 45, don’t put off colon cancer screening any longer.
