Considering the widespread prevalence of colorectal cancer after lung cancer, it has been decided to make March as the colorectal cancer awareness month.
If the statistics are looked upon, it is seen that 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 50,000 people die from it.
The awareness campaign plans to highlight the importance of screening for the patients. Dr. Armando Lopez de Victoria, with Advanced Gastroenterology Associates on N. Butler, said that when the patients visit him there is nothing left for him to do. He is only left with the option to extend the life span of the person.
Shedding light on the symptoms of the cancer, Dr. Armando said, "Many of the symptoms of colorectal cancer are the same symptoms that everyone gets every now and then". He mentioned that this is the worst part of the disease.
Fleshing out the details of the symptoms, he said anal bleeding, diarrhea or constipation; stomach pain and inexplicable weight loss are allied to colorectal cancer. They are thought to be negligible problems and are not usually taken as something that can be linked to cancer.
Even genetic factors are responsible for the cancer. The campaign plans to create awareness on cure and symptoms of the disease.
