45 is the new 50!

People under age 50 have been appearing increasingly at doctors’ offices in the past few decades, complaining of blood in their stool, abdominal trouble or unexplained weight loss.

The diagnosis: colorectal cancer. And by that time, it was often too late.

But that paradigm is finally starting to shift, at least for patients in their 40s.

There has been a jump in people aged 45 to 49 getting screened for colorectal cancer, after recent medical guidelines lowered the screening age for those at average risk.

As a result, the disease is being caught sooner, when it is more curable and the treatment is less grueling, according to new research from the American Cancer Society.

If you or a loved one is preparing for chemotherapy, your care team may recommend a port placement—a small medical device implanted under the skin that makes receiving treatment easier and more comfortable.

At Yakima General Surgery, we provide outpatient port placements locally, so you don’t have to travel far or wait weeks to begin your care.
🔹 What is a port?
A port is a small, implanted device that allows medications (like chemotherapy) to be delivered directly into your bloodstream—safely and efficiently.
🔹 Who is it for?
Patients who require frequent or long-term intravenous treatments, like chemotherapy, blood transfusions, or IV antibiotics.
🔹 Why does local care matter?

Quick access to port placement helps you begin treatment on schedule, with fewer delays, less stress, and more time focused on healing.

📞 Talk with your oncologist or call our office to learn if port placement is right for your treatment plan. We’re here to support you from day one.

Did you know that obesity is one of the leading risk factors for hernia development and recurrence? Excess weight puts added pressure on the abdominal wall, making it more likely for a hernia to form—and harder for surgical repairs to hold over time.

At Yakima General Surgery, we approach hernia care with your whole health in mind.
✔ We assess your BMI and overall health to determine the safest, most effective treatment approach
✔ We talk honestly about how weight management can improve surgical outcomes and healing
✔ We partner with you on a care plan that supports long-term strength and prevention

Surgery is only one part of the journey—your overall wellness plays a key role in how well you heal and stay healthy.
