Knowing your risk factors for Colorectal Cancer is an important first step in staying healthy. In our October blog, we provided an overview of the two key categories of risk factors for colorectal cancer.  It is equally important to get regular screenings to reduce your risk of developing colorectal cancer.  Understanding the different types of screenings is also key. Staying in touch with your doctor and gastroenterologist is vital for early detection so that any symptoms can be tracked with your full medical history.

Cancer is a scary word. For those with GI issues, it can be even more unnerving, considering many of us have underlying risk factors that put us at greater risk. Here at DHAT, we want to walk you through the basics, from screening to treatment, in an effort to keep you informed up to date on GI issues you need to know to stay healthy.
