How do you prevent colon cancer?
A woman recently came to see me for a routine check-up. She felt completely fine and had no symptoms, but we decided to do a colonoscopy as part of her screening. During the procedure, we found a small polyp in her colon and removed it right away.
Later, the lab results showed that the polyp actually contained early-stage colon cancer. Thankfully, because we caught it early, the cancer was completely removed during the colonoscopy. She didn’t need any further surgery and is now completely cancer-free.
This is a great example of why colonoscopy is so important. It’s a safe and effective way to:
• Detect colon cancer early
• Prevent cancer by removing polyps before they turn into cancer
• Treat early-stage colon cancer without major surgery
We recommend that everyone aged 45 and above consider getting a screening colonoscopy — even if you feel healthy and have no symptoms. Early detection can save lives.
如何预防大肠癌？
最近有一位女士来找我做健康检查。她感觉很好，没有任何症状，但我们还是为她安排了一次结肠镜检查作为常规筛查的一部分。
在检查过程中，我们发现她的结肠内有一个小息肉，并当场将它完整地切除。几天后，化验报告显示这个息肉里竟然已经有早期的大肠癌。幸运的是，因为发现得早，我们在结肠镜检查中就已经把癌细胞完全清除。她现在已经康复，不需要再做其他手术。
这个案例说明了结肠镜检查的重要性。它是一种安全、有效的检查方式，可以：
• 早期发现大肠癌
• 通过切除息肉来预防癌症发生
• 治疗早期大肠癌，避免开刀手术
我们建议所有 45岁及以上的人，即使没有任何症状，也应定期做结肠镜筛查。早发现，早治疗，能救命！
