March is !
三月是大腸癌宣傳月!
Did you know? A screening test is used to look for a disease when a person doesn’t have symptoms. Colorectal cancer almost always develops from precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon or re**um. Screening tests can find precancerous polyps, so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best. In the United States, 1 out of every 20 people will develop colorectal cancer. If you are 45 years old or older, getting screened for colorectal cancer this year could save your life! If you would like to learn more about colorectal cancer, please attend NEMS Health Education Workshop.

• What is colorectal cancer?
• Risk factors
• Signs and symptoms

您知道嗎?篩檢測試用於在一個人沒有症狀時檢測疾病。大腸直腸癌幾乎總是由結腸或直腸中的癌前息肉(異常增生)發展而來。篩檢測試可以發現癌前息肉,以便在它們癌變之前將其切除。篩檢測試還可以早期發現大腸直腸癌,此時治療效果最佳。在美國,每20個人中就有1個人有大腸癌。如果您今年是 45 歲或以上,接受一個大腸癌的檢查可以挽救您的性命!如果您想了解更多有關大腸癌的資料,請參加東北醫療中心健康教育部的講座。
