Colon Cancer Screening, Surveillance, Prevention, and Therapy, An Issue of Gastroenterology Clinics

Description
Part of the award winning public television series Healthy Body/Healthy Mind. “The hardest battle to fight is the one that should be the easiest but isn’t.” – Priscilla Savary, colon cancer patient educator. It begins as a polyp, a tiny ball of tissue that forms in your intestinal lining. Polyps are not cancer, but a certain percentage can become cancerous if left in place. That equation means if you do not already have colon cancer, the odds are in your favor of successfully avoiding it. Screening and removal of polyps can stop the cancer before it begins. And yet colon cancer is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in America, claiming some 56,000 victims each year. This show looks at the arc of colon cancer — from screening options and education, to the stages of cancer, to treatment options, to a new horizon of treatment and prevention – through the eyes of three patient/interview subjects and the health and medical experts that are our guides through each story. In some cases those medical experts are the actual physicians treating our patients. In other cases they are experts who can offer a look at the bigger picture of this disease.

Colon Cancer: Prevention & Treatment

Product Description
“This book will save many lives, possibly yours or that of a loved one—it arms readers with all the information they need to become informed health-care consumers and protect their own health.” Robert Tufft, M.D., Diplomate, American Board of Internal Medicine

Colon Cancer & the Polyps Connection is the first-and only book exploring the causes, cures and prevention of colorectal cancer. Gives you all of the facts you need to make the right decisions concerning your health—especially prevention.

Yearly, over one-million North Americans are found to have polyps (colorectal cancer develops from polyps)—and 150,000 of those are diagnosed with colorectal cancer. About 1 in 3 people over age 50 have polyps and 56,000 North Americans die annually from colon cancer—more than from breast or prostate cancers!

In this guide, author Stephen Fisher, a colorectal cancer survivor, tells how he waged a personal and logical assault on this disease, condensing daily journal entries of his feelings and fears, including his ordeals of searching for answers, finding doctors, enduring treatments and finally, how he faced his own mortality.

Fisher shares what he learned from his own exhaustive study and his participation in a $25-million, government-funded study—the PPT, or Polyp Prevention Trial—which focuses on prevention and diet.

This comprehensive guide includes terms, procedures, treatments, medical facts and data from The American Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute. Plus complete chapters on fat, fiber, fruits, vegetables, and the Computer-Assisted Diet Assessment created by the PPT!
