Publisher's Synopsis
Colon cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers. It is both preventable and curable when found early, but devastating when discovered too late. It begins silently without any signs or symptoms, and rarely gives any warning until too late. In spite of painless, accurate and inexpensive screening tests, too many people mistakenly believe they are safe and fail to protect themselves.
From young movie stars and professional athletes, to world political and religious leaders anyone can get colon cancer. Nearly 50,000 needlessly die in the United States each year from this preventable and curable disease. When it is detected early nearly all of these lives could have been saved. Recently the greatest increase in colon cancer is seen in adults 20 to 40 years of age.
In this book you will learn how: your diet, weight, family history, gender, and other significant factors contribute to your potential risk. You will begin to understand the essentials in personalizing your best approach to prevent colon cancer. The multiple options range from one minute painless and inexpensive tests, to the more involved invasive colonoscopy tests that require sedation or anesthesia.
