【CDC】大腸癌篩查：這是正確的選擇

90%以上的大腸癌發生在50歲以後。別以為隻有男人才會得腸癌：男女差不多。50歲之後25%的人會生結腸息肉、其中20%的息肉或發展為腸癌。腸癌篩查可拯救至少60%以上的人死於腸癌。

Screening for Colorectal Cancer: It’s the Right Choice

Of cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal (colon) cancer is the #2 cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. But it doesn’t have to be. Screening tests can find this cancer early, when treatment works best. 23 million Americans are not up-to-date on screening.

About 51,000 people die from colorectal cancer each year. Recommended screening could prevent at least 60% of these deaths! Screening can find polyps (abnormal growths) so they can be removed before turning into cancer. Screening should start at 50 and continue until age 75 for most men and women.

There’s More Than One Test. You Have a Choice!

High-sensitivity fecal occult blood test (Once a year)

You do this test at home and send stool samples to a doctor’s office or lab.

Flexible sigmoidoscopy (Every 5 years with FOBT every 3 years)

The doctor looks for polyps or cancer in the rectum and lower third of the colon.

Colonoscopy (every 10 years)

The doctor looks for polyps or cancer in the rectum and the entire colon.

Colon cancer or polyps may not cause symptoms, especially early on.

Don’t wait for symptoms before you get screened! 別等到有症狀時才去做篩查

Talk to your doctor if you or a close relative have:

• Inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease, or ulcerative colitis.
• A personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps.
• A genetic syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome).

If you have any of these risks, you may need to start screening before age 50 and be tested more often than other people.

• 為什麽75歲以後不檢查了呢？ -ssll- ♀ (0 bytes) () 01/18/2015 postreply 21:28:10

• 因75歲以後做篩查的淨收益是很小的,除非有家族史或之前被檢查出結腸癌或腺瘤性息肉. -閩姑- ♀ (2150 bytes) () 01/18/2015 postreply 21:55:28
