Race and colorectal cancer Compared to Caucasians, African-Americans… Develop colon cancer at a younger age Have decreased access to screening Have more ‘aggressive’ colon cancer Have a reduced response to chemotherapy for advanced disease Have reduced survival (30% mortality increase) Am J Gastroenterol 100:515, 2005

What are the signs and symptoms for colorectal cancer? Early stages of colorectal cancer may have NO signs or symptoms.

Colonoscopy Colonoscopy: doctor uses a flexible tube with a light to look inside your large intestine (colon or guts).
Slide 20-

Colonoscopy (cont.) Colonoscopy looks at the whole colon to find and remove polyps or to find cancer. The procedure takes about 30 minutes unless polyps need to be removed. Source: American Cancer Society
Slide 21-

Different types of polyps Sessile polyp Sessile polyp Tubulovillous adenoma Biopsy forceps
Slide 22-

Different types of adenomas Sessile polyp Tubular adenoma Sessile polyp Tubulovillous adenoma Polyp removal
Slide 23-

What should I do to get ready for colonoscopy? Bowel Preparation: Before colonoscopy, the colon must be clean so the doctor can see inside the entire colon. Clear liquid diet one to two days before the test Laxatives to eliminate stool from the colon

Slide 25-

What about during and after colonoscopy? Just before the test, you will be given medications to relax you. After the test, you will need someone to take you home. Although the procedure is safe, colonoscopy involves slight risk (bleeding, perforation).
Slide 26-

Can I reduce my risk for colorectal cancer? You can reduce your risk for colorectal cancer: Get screened for colorectal cancer Achieve and maintain a healthy weight Exercise at least 30 minutes on five or more days each week Eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits each day Avoid tobacco and alcohol Source: American Cancer Society
