Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal Cancer Screening & Prevention Colorectal cancer is the second-deadliest cancer in the United States, partly because it often goes undiagnosed. Polyps can develop in the colon or rectum and become malignant without presenting any symptoms. Therefore, knowing and addressing your risk factors and undergoing the recommended screenings is crucial. Colorectal cancer affects both men and women. Even if you have no personal or family history of colon cancer, ask your doctor about colorectal risk factors and when to start screening. With regular screening, colorectal cancer is easily detectable and treatable.

Cancer Screening & Prevention
Early detection plays a crucial role in effectively managing cancer. By undergoing regular cancer screening tests, you can identify the presence of cancerous cells or tumors even before symptoms manifest. It provides an opportunity for timely intervention and increases the chances of successful treatment and recovery. At the William N. Pennington Cancer Institute, your care team is essential in determining which screenings are most appropriate for you and your family based on your medical history, age, and risk factors. They can guide you through the various screening options available and address any concerns or questions you may have. Cancer screening tests encompass a range of examinations, including imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, as well as specific tests like mammograms, Pap smears, colonoscopies, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. These screenings aim to detect breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, cervical, and other types of cancers. By prioritizing cancer screenings and preventive measures, you take an active role in safeguarding your health. Detecting cancer early significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and improves overall outcomes. Prevention Cancer prevention is a vital aspect of maintaining overall health and well-being. One significant preventive measure is the administration of HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccines. HPV is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to several types of cancers, including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers. HPV vaccines are designed to protect against high-risk HPV strains responsible for the majority of these infections. By getting vaccinated, individuals can significantly reduce their risk of developing HPV-related cancers. These vaccines are most effective when administered before exposure to the virus through sexual activity. Therefore, early vaccination, ideally during adolescence or early adulthood, is crucial for long-term protection. By prioritizing HPV vaccination as part of comprehensive cancer prevention strategies, individuals can take proactive steps towards reducing the risk of these preventable cancers.
