Colorectal cancer is the most common cancer in Hong Kong, and it can be treated if it can be detected early. High-risk factors for colorectal cancer include age, family history of colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn's disease. Lack of physical activity, high-fat diet and insufficient fiber, drinking and smoking, and obesity all increase the risk of colorectal cancer; some symptoms include changes in bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea), blood in the stool, and unexplained weight loss And abdominal discomfort.

According to data from the Department of Health, colorectal cancer is the second largest cancer death rate in Hong Kong. In 2016, there were 2,089 deaths from colorectal cancer, accounting for 15% of all local cancer deaths.

Colonoscopy is used as a routine physical examination, especially for groups with a history of colorectal cancer or polyps (non-cancerous growth in the large intestine). It can also be used to check for inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn’s disease or ulcerative disease. Colitis; in addition, doctors can confirm the location of the inflammation through a colonoscope, remove the polyps and extract part of the biopsy for testing.

Colorectal cancer may be benign, non-cancerous, or malignant. Malignant cancer can spread to other parts of the body. Therefore, early detection is removed before the pancreas becomes cancer, and the survival rate is greatly improved.

Colorectal cancer screening refers to the examination and diagnosis before there are obvious symptoms, which also helps to identify people at higher risk. Colorectal cancer screening is generally regarded as an important step before diagnosis. It is effective if the potential risk can be confirmed before the symptoms of colorectal cancer appear. Beware of unburned.

Stool occult blood test and stool DNA test (for a certain oncogene) are both non-invasive and convenient inspection methods, but they cannot detect tumors without bleeding or show DNA lesions. Observe the entire intestine clearly with a colonoscope. If DNA lesions or polyps are found, they can be removed and tested immediately. Early inspection and removal of the squamous meat can help reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer by 3-8 times. According to information from the Department of Health, the risk of developing colorectal cancer with hereditary non-pigmented colorectal cancer genes is as high as 50-80%, while the risk of cancer with familial rectal papillary syndrome genes is as high as 70- 100%, absolutely not to be taken lightly.
