Colorectal cancer is one of Singapore’s most common forms of cancer, afflicting both men and women alike. More than 90% of colorectal cancer cases occur in people aged 50 and older. On average the risk of colorectal cancer is 1 out of 20.
According to the Ministry of Health guidelines, screening for colorectal cancer should begin at the age of 50 for individuals who do not have any risk factors. In contrast, individuals with an increased risk should start screening from the age of 40.
While surgery may help treat colorectal cancer, early detection of colon polyps through colonoscopy is critical in preventing the onset of cancer, thereby increasing the chance of recovery.
If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or are experiencing bowel-related ailments, consider scheduling a colonoscopy to investigate the cause. Prevention beats cure.
