Colon cancer awareness is crucial because early detection can save lives. Here are key points to know and share: 1.Risk Factors • Age 45+ (though younger cases are increasing). • Family history of colorectal cancer. • Diet high in red/processed meats, low in fiber. • Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption. • Lack of physical activity. • Obesity. 2. Symptoms to Watch For • Persistent changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation). • Blood in stool or rectal bleeding. • Unexplained weight loss. • Persistent abdominal pain, cramping, or bloating. • Feeling that the bowel doesn’t empty completely. 3. Screening Saves Lives • Colonoscopy (gold standard) detects and removes polyps. • Stool tests (FIT, gFOBT) check for hidden blood. • CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy). • Regular screenings should start at age 45 (or earlier with risk factors). 4. Prevention Tips • Eat a high-fiber diet with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. • Limit red and processed meats. • Stay active; exercise reduces risk. • Maintain a healthy weight. • Quit smoking and limit alcohol.
