5 Ways to Help Prevent Colon Cancer
Below is a brief article from Medicare concerning Colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancer-related killers. It’s the third most common cancer in the U.S. and the second leading cause of death from cancer. Colorectal cancer affects all racial and ethnic groups and is most often found in people 50 and older. Colon cancer is generally treatable when caught early enough. The best way to prevent it is to get screened regularly starting at age 50. There are often no signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer—that’s why it’s so important to get screened. You don’t have to do it alone—Medicare covers many preventive services including colorectal cancer screenings to help you detect and prevent colorectal cancer, and you’ll pay nothing for most of them. March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, so this is a great time to do 5 things to stop this cancer in its tracks.
- Get screened
- Exercise
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Don’t drink too much alcohol
- Don’t smoke
