Routine screenings also help prevent colorectal cancers.<\/p>\n<p>March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month and it is a great time to schedule your colonoscopy screening if you are age 45 or older.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Colorectal Cancer Fast Facts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.<\/li>\n<li>Colorectal cancer affects men and women equally.<\/li>\n<li>Rates of colorectal cancer have been declining among adults 50 years and older, but they have been increasing among adults younger than age 50.<\/li>\n<li>Colorectal cancer can be prevented with regular screenings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because the number of people younger than 50 being diagnosed with cancer is on the rise, organizations such as the American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommend colorectal cancer screenings to start at age 45. However, if you have a family history of colon cancer or are considered a high-risk patient, screenings should begin earlier. Talk to your physician to determine what is right for you.<\/p>\n<p>Experts are unsure what is causing the increase in colorectal cancer among young adults. However, known risk factors for colorectal cancer in older adults include obesity, physical inactivity, and smoking.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prevention Is Key <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many screening tests are available, including at-home options that use stool samples, such as FIT test or Cologuard. However, a colonoscopy remains the gold standard for screening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe advantage of a colonoscopy is that it provides definitive results, and if polyps are found, we can remove them during the procedure\u2014preventing cancer on the spot,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/adam-elfant-md\">Adam B. Elfant, MD<\/a>, Head, Division of Gastroenterology at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/digestive-health-institute-gastroenterology\">Cooper Digestive Health Institute<\/a>. \u201cBut the best screening test is the one that gets done.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t Fear the Prep <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many people put off getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/colonoscopy\">colonoscopy<\/a> because of fear or anxiety about the process. It\u2019s not the actual procedure that causes concern\u2014you are asleep for that\u2014but it\u2019s the preparation that gets a bad rap.<\/p>\n<p>Although prep can be inconvenient, it is crucial to ensure a successful colonoscopy. Your colon must be empty and clean to so that your physician can see clearly to detect any abnormalities.<\/p>\n<p>The colonoscopy procedure is brief\u2014only about 30 minutes. You will receive a sedative to put you in a \u201ctwilight sleep.\u201d Any abnormal cells, or polyps, found during the screening are removed before they can develop into cancer. After your colonoscopy, you may be slightly groggy from the sedative, so you will need to arrange for safe transportation home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur team at Cooper makes the entire process as easy as possible,\u201d Dr. Elfant says. \u201cWe also remind patients that this procedure can save your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Advanced Treatment for Colorectal Cancer<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer or another gastrointestinal cancer, one of the most important decisions you will make is where to go for care.

Marzo es el mes de concientizaci\u00f3n sobre el c\u00e1ncer de colon y es un buen momento para programar su examen de colonoscopia si tiene 45 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Datos b\u00e1sicos sobre el c\u00e1ncer colorrectal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>El c\u00e1ncer colorrectal es la segunda causa principal de muerte por c\u00e1ncer en los Estados Unidos.<\/li>\n<li>El c\u00e1ncer colorrectal afecta a hombres y mujeres por igual.<\/li>\n<li>Las tasas de c\u00e1ncer colorrectal han disminuido entre los adultos mayores de 50 a\u00f1os, pero han aumentado entre los adultos menores de 50 a\u00f1os.<\/li>\n<li>El c\u00e1ncer colorrectal se puede prevenir con ex\u00e1menes regulares.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Debido a que la cantidad de personas menores de 50 a\u00f1os a las que se les diagnostica c\u00e1ncer va en aumento, organizaciones como la Sociedad Estadounidense del C\u00e1ncer y el Grupo de Trabajo de Servicios Preventivos de EE. UU. ahora recomiendan que las pruebas de detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer colorrectal comiencen a los 45 a\u00f1os. Sin embargo, si tiene antecedentes familiares de c\u00e1ncer de colon o se considera un paciente de alto riesgo, las pruebas de detecci\u00f3n deben comenzar antes. Hable con su m\u00e9dico para determinar qu\u00e9 es lo mejor para usted.<\/p>\n<p>Los expertos no est\u00e1n seguros de qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 causando el aumento del c\u00e1ncer colorrectal entre los adultos j\u00f3venes. Sin embargo, los factores de riesgo conocidos para el c\u00e1ncer colorrectal en adultos mayores incluyen la obesidad, la inactividad f\u00edsica y el tabaquismo.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>La prevenci\u00f3n es clave<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hay muchas pruebas de detecci\u00f3n disponibles, incluidas las opciones en el hogar que usan muestras de heces, como la prueba FIT o Cologuard. Sin embargo, una colonoscopia sigue siendo el est\u00e1ndar de oro para la detecci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa ventaja de una colonoscopia es que brinda resultados definitivos y, si se encuentran p\u00f3lipos, podemos extirparlos durante el procedimiento, lo que previene el c\u00e1ncer en el lugar\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/adam-elfant-md\">Adam B. Elfant, MD<\/a>, Jefe de la Divisi\u00f3n de Gastroenterolog\u00eda del <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/digestive-health-institute-gastroenterology\">Cooper Digestive Health Institute<\/a>. \u201cPero la mejor prueba de detecci\u00f3n es la que se hace\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>No le temas a la preparaci\u00f3n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Muchas personas posponen hacerse una <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/colonoscopy\">colonoscopia<\/a> por miedo o ansiedad sobre el proceso. No es el procedimiento real lo que causa preocupaci\u00f3n, est\u00e1 dormido durante el proceso, pero es la preparaci\u00f3n la que tiene una mala reputaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Aunque la preparaci\u00f3n puede ser un inconveniente, es fundamental para garantizar una colonoscopia exitosa. Su colon debe estar vac\u00edo y limpio para que su m\u00e9dico pueda ver claramente y detectar cualquier anomal\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>El procedimiento de colonoscopia es breve, solo unos 30 minutos. Recibir\u00e1 un sedante para ponerlo en un \u201csue\u00f1o crepuscular\u201d. Todas las c\u00e9lulas anormales, o p\u00f3lipos, que se encuentran durante el examen se eliminan antes de que se conviertan en c\u00e1ncer. Despu\u00e9s de la colonoscopia, es posible que est\u00e9 un poco aturdido por el sedante, por lo que deber\u00e1 organizar un transporte seguro a casa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNuestro equipo en Cooper hace que todo el proceso sea lo m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil posible\u201d, dice el Dr. Elfant. \u201cTambi\u00e9n les recordamos a los pacientes que este procedimiento puede salvarles la vida\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tratamiento avanzado para el c\u00e1ncer colorrectal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Si usted o alguien a quien ama ha sido diagnosticado con c\u00e1ncer colorrectal u otro c\u00e1ncer gastrointestinal, una de las decisiones m\u00e1s importantes que tomar\u00e1 es a d\u00f3nde acudir para recibir atenci\u00f3n.
