About Colorectal Cancer

In the United States, colorectal cancer is one of the leading cause of all cancer deaths. It is important to note that blood in the stool may be the only symptom of colorectal cancer, but not all blood in the stool is caused by cancer.

What to know about colorectal cancer:

  • Early detection increases chances for recovery
  • Regular screening can greatly decrease your risk of colorectal cancer.
  • Colorectal cancer rarely causes symptoms in its early stages.
  • Regular screening is recommended for everyone aged 50 and older.
  • Although from 2002-2004 the numbers of deaths caused by this type of cancer have decreased, the American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that less than 50 percent of Americans undergo preventative screenings for colorectal cancer.
Tips on taking the First Check ColoCheck
  • Two days prior to and during the testing period, avoid aspirin containing medications, antiinflammatory drugs, and rectal ointments.
  • If you are taking medication, including prescribed doses of iron, check with your physician before testing.
  • No diet restrictions are required (rare meat and Vitamin C are OK). However, for two days before and during testing, try to eat vegetables, fruits and cereals.
