Fewer People Dying From Colon Cancer
By Lance Winslow

Luckily fewer people are dying from Colon Cancer each year in this is due to good education and early
detection of those who are potentially at risk. How do you know if you are at risk? Well if someone in
your immediate family has had Colon Cancer you might be more susceptible.

If you are over 45 years old and you have found you are passing blood in your stool then you may want to
get checked out. Then or women with iron deficiency used can also be susceptible to colon cancer. Women
who have been diagnosed with other types of cancer such as ovarian cancer or breast cancer can also be
susceptible to Colon Cancer.

So the good news is that fewer people are dying from Colon Cancer, but the bad news is if you did I get
checked out that isn't that help you much if you're one who has it. About 350 people in about 100,000
will get colon cancer, so your odds are better than you think, but it makes sense to stay on the safe
side and consider early detection as the best way to fight colon cancer.

There are many good web sites on the Internet, which have information on colon cancer and you may wish
to check the American Cancer Society's web site which has a full listing of all the issues that have
to do Colon Cancer. Consider this in 2006.
