C1 3 a word to the lake and drain about it.

April 30 agreement jumped right in today because w talk about very very cold object cancer.

My good time to bring awareness on colonoscopy to our health journey yesterday of course we had the experts because you don't want to give the information in case bailey both probably just a pathologist gastroenterology fidelity of the bluegrass much for being here.

Answer: a lot of people realize you know we all realize how your heart cardiovascular.

We think of other cancers.

A lifetime probably is colon cancer here i united date.

Overall, the around hundred and 2040 around hundred and 2000 and 40,000 cases of new newly diagnosed colon cancer every year is the third largest colon cancer largest cause of cancer death in the united states at the top three for somebody who may have just colon cancer, but now all that entails.

What this form of cancer in the colon cancer is a tumor the right margin.

Julie begins as a small polyp in overtime, grown-up, cancer, which then can continue to enlarge so that all of this at times very small millimeter growth on the move with colonoscopies of the beginning of the colon cancer development cascade so something that we would heal others that we would say hello not rightly go to.

There will have regular screening to see if there are any symptoms until colon cancer itself is an even patients have: are often times relates so okay so we need to go and have greeny or certain age group.

I asked my women more prevalent.

Having sure so for relatively cancer society updated guidelines may 2018.

This the revival of interest for colon cancer is a family history will asap outlining our lay like thi is that this is a definite my grandmother passed away from colon cancer and the issue of not being diagnosed and by the time she was properly diagnosed as two-way know that it's time probably going to be somebody on their 30s is too young to juliet's recommended age 40 or 10 years prior to the age of th first.

Now a lot of people derive this tax visit the medication so colonoscopy in general is her largest reading tool.

It is not nearly as bad as you would think most people are sedated they don't feel any pain other is a preparation to go through.

That's a little difficult for some people, but we know basically just get the stool cleaned out so can see th entire: another major screening tool.

There are a few other tests including stool tests and some imaging studies that can b done but we'll talk more colonoscopy deftly are preferred method of screening now suddenly colonoscopy a result, back along the usually result in a week until the patients.

The data there what what we found we know, obviously we've been doing this a long time.

We can tell people this is what we found.

This is this is what's can happen from here for most patients are normal and that's great.

So it's giving the conference moving forward that these are good.

This is when we need to do it again and we give all the recognitions that right then.

If we do remove all we usually have a great idea of to tell them this is what to expect from here forward okay so now it is always nice because media results back and not have to worry and worry so i told you that very very about preventing calling that we can do or steps we can take, whether through diet and exercise can help.

Surely a few things.

So basically the major things are stopping smoking.

We know that smoking causes can lead to an increased risk of colon cancer by maintaining a healthy weight and exercising are great but unfortunately there those are things that the only behavioral modifications we have and are not enough to prevent colon cancer so even the young health people.

If you have a risk which we all do just a baseline you have to be screened to prevent any hereditary issue in your family.

Unfortunately you will try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but in this particular case is just not enough colon cancer go to the doctor colonoscopy results, abnormal with except after that, based on new years and years of using screening colonoscopy.

We know based on what type of polyps.

If you do have policy are the precancers of the not precancerous.

We have recommendations that of been carried out modified over the years to tell people this is what you need to do from now on.

This is how to prevent colon cancer in your particular case for the rest of your life and you are to find a policy renewa that would help her late know how we do have to find that the ford becomes a serious issue.

Will we know that it takes around 10 years to go from a normal tissue through apollo into colon cancer and our recommendations for screening and surveying people are based upon those things.

So if we fate found c-3 polyps and you will know that we needed repeat the test in 3 to 5 years just t be sure that you don't get more and that we catch things in the polyp form before they become cancerous.

So does prevention go early.

Don't know put this on the back burner very very according that experts like you, we need to schedule a colonoscopy or general question having do that but were available anytime.
