I received the package immediately after my 54th birthday. The enclosed instructions said that when the stomach was empty, it was necessary to scrape a little stool in a small sample bottle and push it into the pre -payment bag and drop it on the post. I acted and was invited to the hospital a few weeks later. My sample contained blood. The colonoscopy was ordered to exclude colon cancer.
Thankfully, there is no colon rectal cancer, and the 54 -year -old colonoscopy is a classic start to middle -aged. But over the next few years, this special passage can start to get up much earlier. The proportion of the cancer among the people of my age is decreasing thanks to such a screening program, but the story under 50 is much more difficult.
I haven’t heard of it in the 20th century, as it was called by people under 50 years of age. 10 % of all new cases of the world. This number is expected to be more than doubled by 2030, and until then, EOCRC is expected to be the most common form of fatal cancer in Americans between 20 and 49 years old.
The reason is uncertain, but ambitious new projects are to explore potential causes. EOCRC is the idea that it can be a distinct and aggressive form of disease. Meanwhile, as everyday screening expanded to a young group, in-January, the UK lowered the selection age to 50.
