 March is colon cancer awareness month, so I want to take a few minutes of your time to talk about colon cancer and colon cancer screening. Colonoscopy is one of the best tests that we have to screen for colon cancer because we can actually find polyps in the colon that may, over time, turn to cancer. Not all polyps are cancerous, but some of them are and could turn over, turn into cancer over time over the course of several years. If you are found to have polyps, you may need to have colonoscopy sooner than the average 10-year mark, we say, for most people at average risk. Some people need colonoscopy sooner if they're having concerning symptoms. There's lots of reasons to have symptoms, but some of the ones that I keep an eye out for are people who say they're having bleeding when they go to the bathroom or weight loss that they can't explain. It may not be related to colon cancer at all, but it's always good to check early on. We think of colon cancer as a disease of older or elderly people, but it's not. We're seeing it more common now in younger people as well, so even if you are young or know someone who's young who's having symptoms, it's important to talk to your family doctor about this so we can do something about it sooner if needed. If you have any questions about colon cancer or colon cancer screening, please talk to your family care doctor or advanced practice provider about these questions. I enjoy working with them to figure out your risk factors, and if you need a colonoscopy, take it you set up as soon as possible.
