Rectal Cancer is More Common Than Colon Cancer

Did you know that your risk of developing rectal cancer is four times higher than your risk of getting colon cancer?  Well, based on my research which I share with you in my recent comprehensive education video entitled,  Colon Cancer Screening: What You Need To Know About Colon Health, Colonoscopy, Cologuard | My Experience and Choice there is a gross misclassification going on when it comes to colon cancer deaths and rectal cancer deaths.  Colon cancer and rectal cancer are synonymously being called colorectal cancer.  They used data from the California Cancer Registry on reported death certificates to prove that 82% of rectal cancers were miscoded as colon cancer. Therefore we can extrapolate that since 80% of all colon cancers are in the left side of the colon, or distal colon and sigmoid colon, with higher risk for cancer developing in the rectum, examination of the distal and sigmoid colon, and rectum is of greater benefit in the detection of colorectal cancer. Please see my video below for more information on how to choose a colorectal cancer screening test that's right for you.

Why You Should Choose Cologuard Colorectal Cancer Screening Test

Learn about my experience with Cologuard Colorectal Cancer Screening test in my latest YouTube video below. I did some extensive research into the available recommended screening methods for detecting colon cancer after my doctor recommended I get a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer. As many of you may know, if you are age 50 and over or age 45 and over and African American, your doctor will recommend that you be screened for colon cancer, and they almost always recommend you get a colonoscopy. However, based I my research, I learned that a colonoscopy is a highly invasive test that carries significant risks to your health, and many people feel uncomfortable having such an invasive test as a screening test. Unfortunately, because of that, many people simply don't get screened. Learn about colonoscopy and its risks and side effects in my video entitled:  Colonoscopy: What You Need To Know, Risks and Side Effects. You should know that if you don't feel uncomfortable having a colonoscopy, you have other effective alternatives to choose from and one of them is Cologuard. Cologuard is the latest FDA approved technology available in noninvasive screening tests. It's an at-home DNA stool test that you can do right in the privacy of your own home that screens your entire colon and rectum for colon cancer and precancerous polyps. Based on my research, which I share in my video below, I decided it was the best choice for me, and it may be for you too. It's very easy to use, highly accurate, and uses the latest in DNA technology to screen your stool for colon cancer and precancerous growths. Learn all about it, why I chose it, and my experience with it in my video below.

March Is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

In honor of colon cancer awareness month, I created an in-depth comprehensive YouTube video to help spread awareness about the importance of taking care of your colon and getting screened for colon cancer. My video is based on my own personal experience as well as extensive research I did into the subject of colon health, polyps, colon cancer, prevention, and getting screened. It's a video that everyone should watch, not just those in the over 45 years of age group who are being recommended to get screened for colon cancer, because colon cancer is now on the rise in young adults. Having knowledge about this area of the human body is critically important if you want to have a healthy life. I hope you will watch this entire video and share it with others to help spread awareness, because if colon cancer is caught early, the five-year survival rate is 90%. Learn what you need to know to help prevent colon cancer.
