Myth: The preparation for colonoscopies is the worst!

Fact: Drinking the bowel preparation is one of the leading deterrents to having a colonoscopy. The good news is that, instead of a full gallon prep, there are lower-volume bowel preps available that make the experience more tolerable.

Myth: I am not at risk for colorectal cancer because I have no family history of it.

Fact: Everyone is at risk. Having a family history of colorectal cancer can increase someone's risk, but it does not mean that only people with a family history can get it. About 75% of all new cases of colorectal cancer occur in patients with no known risk factors for the disease and no family history.

Some colorectal cancer risk factors are within our control — and small lifestyle changes can make a big difference. Obesity, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, excessive drinking and smoking are all linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Making even one positive change can help protect your long‑term health. During National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage you to talk with your provider about prevention and screening options that fit your needs.
