Colon Cancer Awareness: Rising Cases, Causes, Screening & Prevention | Dr. Vipulroy Rathod

Is the incidence of colon cancer on the rise globally? What are the main causes, and how can we prevent it? Join us for this crucial discussion as we sit down with Dr. Vipulroy Rathod, Director of Gastroenterology at Fortis Hospital, Mulund Mumbai, to shed light on this growing health concern. In this video, Dr. Rathod explains: 📈 Why the incidence of colon cancer is rising, highlighting the roles of lifestyle and genetic makeup. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The importance of genetic predisposition: if you have a family history, your next generation is more likely to be affected. 🏥 The critical role of screening programs in the Western and Middle Eastern world. 🕰️ Why experts are now recommending screening colonoscopy as early as age 45-50—and even as low as age 14 for those with a high-risk family history. ✅ How early screening helps in preventing full-fledged cancer by catching and treating small colon polyps with endoscopy. ⚠️ The dire consequences of late detection, which can require massive surgery, chemotherapy, and other adjuvant treatments. Awareness is key! If you or someone in your family has a history or suspicion of colon cancer, please get evaluated at the right time.
