The Senior Center will be Closed Mon, Mar. 31st Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon
or rectum) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Every
year, about 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than
50,000 people die from it.
Prevention
Prevention techniques include regular screenings, a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Colorectal cancer screening saves lives, but many people are not being screened
according to national guidelines. Getting a screening test for colorectal cancer could
save your life. Here’s how:
•Colorectal cancer screening tests can find precancerous polyps so they can be
removed before they turn into cancer. In this way, colorectal cancer is prevented.
The Senior
Center will
be Closed
Mon, Mar. 31st
•Screening tests also can find colorectal cancer early, when treatment often leads
to a cure.
If detected, colorectal cancer requires surgery in nearly all cases for complete cure,
sometimes in conjunction with radiation and chemotherapy. Between 80 and 90 percent
of patients are restored to normal health if the cancer is detected and treated in the
earliest stages. However, the cure rate drops to 50 percent or less when diagnosed in
the later stages.
Prevention for people with a high risk
The risk of getting colorectal cancer increases with age. More than 90% of cases occur
in people who are 50 years old or older. Some people are at a higher risk than others for
developing colorectal cancer. Having any of these things may increase your risk:
• Inflammatory bowel disease.
• A personal or family history of colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer.
• Genetic syndromes, like familial adenomatous polyposis or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (also known as Lynch syndrome).
If you think you may be at high risk for colorectal cancer, talk to your doctor about when
and how often to get tested.
Precancerous polyps and colorectal cancer don’t always cause symptoms, especially at
first. You could have polyps or colorectal cancer and not know it. That is why having a
screening test is so important.
