Surgeon gives patients one key piece of advice to help…

A surgeon has revealed a key piece of advice to help prevent colon cancer as cases appear to be rising in the under 50s.
Dr Parul Shukla is a colon and rectal surgeon with Northwell Health who has revealed the one thing he always tells his patients.

This comes after Cancer Research UK reported that bowel cancer rates are increasing among adults between 20 and 50.Colon cancer, also known as bowel cancer, is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK and can be found anywhere in the large bowel.
It also happens to be the third most common cancer worldwide, according to the World Cancer Research Fund.

Dr Shukla, who works in Westchester, New York, told the New York Post that colonoscopies, which are screenings for colon cancer, should be encouraged before the age of 45, particularly if there is a history of it in your family.
His advice is to speak openly about this with your loved ones, adding: “[This has] always been one of my requests to people: Please don’t be shy to discuss the findings of your colonoscopy with your children or with your siblings, because you might save a life.

“If my father had an advanced adenoma, I should know about it, because that would mean that I would need to be screened at least five or 10 years earlier than the screening age, because that history is as strong as if you would have had a cancer.“If you don’t mind, tell them that this is what I have, and I think that’s going to impact on your age for screening.”
On the rise in cases in younger age groups, he admitted: “Actually, the data is quite shocking.
“You’ll be surprised to hear, in the under 50s, women are getting colorectal cancer at an enhanced rate as compared to men.
