Bustle - Colon Cancer Is Rising In Young Women

Did you know colon cancer has become the third most common type of cancer in the world? And it's impacting more young women than ever. It directly affects your digestive system and the tricky part is that symptoms often mimic regular stress-related stomach troubles. Unfortunately, without proper screening or early detection, many cases go undetected until the disease has already spread to other areas of the body. Roughly 20% of patients with colorectal cancer are not diagnosed until it has already metastasized, making it much more difficult to treat and negatively impacting prognosis.

Understanding the risk factors, recognizing warning signs, and familiarizing yourself with treatment options puts you in the driver's seat of your health. The bottom line? It’s time to take cancer screenings seriously.
