Colorectal Cancer Screening Package
Colorectal cancer is a very common gastrointestinal cancer. In men, colorectal cancer is second only to lung cancer and prostate cancer, and in women, colorectal cancer is second only to breast cancer. Colorectal cancer is a serious but curable disease if detected and treated early. Therefore, periodic colorectal cancer screening is a necessary job to ensure the health of each of us. In today's modern society, because colorectal cancer is closely related to diet and living activities, the incidence of the disease is increasing.
According to recommendations from the American Cancer Society: people over the age of 40, both men and women, especially those in the family with a close relative with colorectal cancer, should have a colonoscopy every 5 years. /times, if colon polyps are detected, they need to be removed to prevent cancer.
In addition, every year, we should do a stool test for red blood cells in the stool. If the test is positive, it shows that there are microscopic red blood cells in the stool (the type of red blood cells that are not visible to the naked eye), then a colonoscopy should be performed. as this could be a symptom of early colon cancer.
Colon cancer is a common disease, accounting for a high rate in Vietnam and around the world, screening and early detection play an extremely important role in helping to effectively treat and improve the quality of life for patients from all ages. which reduces the psychological, economic, and social burden.
The screening methods have been described above. However, in our experience, the colonoscopy method has many outstanding advantages. In addition to detecting small lesions that cannot be detected by other methods, colonoscopy can also treat lesions at the time of colonoscopy (depending on the type and size of the lesion).
