Colorectal cancer screening, management and prevention 2004
Network for Continuing Medical Education
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths for men and women in the U.S. Screening methods are effective in reducing the incidence and mortality related to colorectal cancer. When discovered at an early stage, this disease is 90% curable. The American Cancer Society and other related organizations recommend colorectal cancer screening for asymptomatic adults over age 50. However, various reports indicate that less than half of these adults have been screened with either fecal occult blood testing within the past year, or by flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy within the past 5 years. In this program, Dr. Rodney discusses the importance of starting the screening process at age 50 for average risk patients and explains why the term "low risk patients" is a misnomer. With the invaluable information provided in this program, the primary care physicians will be able to incorporate effective screening and preventative strategies into the care of their patients.
