This July Fourth, celebrate your freedom from colorectal cancer!!
Ensure that you and your patients adhere to the new screening guidelines.
According to the National Cancer Institute , there will be 106,100 new cases of colon cancer and 40,870 new cases of rectal cancer in 2009, resulting in 49,920 combined deaths. Click here for more information .
The American Cancer Society recommends that men and women at average risk for colorectal cancer undergo a screening test that finds polyps and cancer every 5 years, beginning at age 50 . Patients with certain risk factors (such as a personal history of IBD or a family history of colorectal cancer) should be screened earlier and more often. Click here to review the full ACS guidelines .
Evidence surrounding colorectal cancer screening is rated and reviewed in an NCI PDQ here (updated 4/30/2009).
The American Gastroenterological Association also provides an interpretation of the new screening guidelines, written by Lisa Boardman, MD of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine. Click here .
