You can undergo \u201cscreening with colonoscopy or stool-based tests,\u201d Cecchini said. Chat with your doctor to determine the best screening for you.<\/p>\n<p>For most people, screenings start at 45. But if you have any of the symptoms mentioned above or meet certain criteria, you may be eligible for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/colonoscopy-before-45-signs_l_65f49ae5e4b08b384f1b377f\" target=\"_blank\" data-skimlinks-tracking=\"7792198\" rel=\"noopener\">colonoscopy before 45<\/a>, Dueker said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone with a first-degree relative \u2014 mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter \u2014 that has had colon cancer, especially if that person was diagnosed before the age of 50, is going to be at higher risk for colorectal cancer because of that family history, and should speak to their doctor about when they should start getting colonoscopies,\u201d\u00a0Dueker explained.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve had inflammatory bowel disease or radiation treatment to the pelvic or abdominal area, or if you have certain genetic syndromes or a personal history of colon cancer, you would also want to get a colonoscopy before 45, Dueker noted.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice to say, it\u2019s important to keep your doctor informed of your medical history and any potential issues you might be experiencing. But while you should take all of this seriously, you also shouldn\u2019t panic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of these symptoms don\u2019t necessarily mean &#8230; you have colon cancer,\u201d said Dueker. Instead, they could mean that a colonoscopy is necessary to determine what is going on. And while the cause\u00a0<em>could<\/em> be colon cancer or a precancerous polyp, detecting the disease early is the best way to manage it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to catch cancer early through screening or alerting to some of &#8230; these symptoms so that we diagnose cancer at an earlier stage, where it\u2019s more treatable and hopefully curable,\u201d Cecchini said. \u201cWe still cure the majority of people with this cancer every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/colon-cancer-sign-pencil-thin-narrow-stool_l_6604808ee4b0ddb37d3b9cb5\" target=\"_blank\" data-skimlinks-tracking=\"7792198\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>HuffPost.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/jillianwilson\/colon-cancer-sign-pencil-thin-narrow-stool-sc\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You should never discount your symptoms,\u00a0Cecchini said, if you notice blood in your stool, chronic abdominal pain, a change in bowel movements, or unexplained weight loss, it\u2019s important that you &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=137614\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137614","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=137614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137614\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=137614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=137614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
