In an earlier blog, we talked about how early detection is the number one way to fight cancer.  An annual report has been released showing evidence of  the importance of early detection.

Researchers now believe that the colorectal cancer death rate will drop over 20% in the next decade. The prediction assumes colon cancer screening and improved chemotherapy treatment will become more commonplace.  It also assumes that cancer causing habits, such as smoking, will be on the decline as well.  Researches believe that this is an optimistic outlook, but it is realistic with all the new advances in medicine.

Cancer is America’s No. 2 killer, behind heart disease, and accounts for nearly a quarter of annual deaths. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cancer killer in the United States. An estimated 50,000 people will die from it this year.

The leading cause of colorectal cancer is obesity.  Diets filled with hyrdogenated oils and animal fats increase the risk of not only colorectal cancer, but all cancers.  Of course, family history and genetics are also a leading cause. Therefore, it is extremely important to live a healthy lifestyle and to always get your yearly screenings, especially if cancer runs within your family.
