March is...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second deadliest cancer in the United States. One in 24 people will be diagnosed with CRC in their lifetime.

• Screening can find the warning signs of colon and rectal cancer, letting doctors take action to prevent the disease.

• Screening can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

All men and women without a family history of CRC should begin screenings at age 45, according to the American Cancer Society.

If you have certain risk factors, you may need to be screened earlier than 45.

Do you have a family history of CRC or polyps?

Get screened at 40 or 10 years before the age at which your immediate family member was diagnosed.

Colorectal cancer first develops with few, if any, symptoms.

Symptoms list

• A change in bowel habits

Including diarrhea, constipation, a change in the consistency of your stool or finding your stools are narrower than usual

• Persistent abdominal discomfort

• Such as cramps, gas, or pain and/or feeling full, bloated or that your bowel does not empty completely

• Rectal bleeding

• Finding blood (either bright red or very dark) in your stool

• Weakness or fatigue

Can also accompany losing weight for no known reason, nausea or vomiting

Live a healthy colon lifestyle

Know your risk factors and family history. Most importantly, listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right or changes, take control and speak to your doctor. Eat fiber (fruits and vegetables).

• Drink plenty of water.

• Take in whole grains.

• Drink low-fat or fat-free milk.

• Eat lean proteins (chicken, turkey) instead of processed meats (hot dogs, lunch meat).

• Reduce excess sugar and fried foods. Limit alcohol intake.

• Maintain a healthy weight. Don’t smoke.

• Exercise regularly.

• Monitor bathroom habits for any changes. Early signs of cancer often do not include pain. It is important not to wait before seeing a doctor. Early detection can save your life!
