The meeting is given at the Agen congress center from 11 a.m. this Saturday, March 4. Each year, colorectal cancer affects more than 43,000 people, or nearly 120 cases diagnosed per day. Added to this worrying observation is a reality: the low rate of participation in colorectal cancer screening. An already precarious situation which has worsened with the health crisis. As with breast cancer, early detection can save lives and combined with effective prevention, it increases the chances of recovery.
“Colorectal cancers, when detected early enough, can be cured in 9 out of 10 cases,” recalls the League Against Cancer. A worrying lack of screening. Yet it is simple, quick and painless. A simple immunological self-test that can be carried out at home by all women and men aged 50 to 74 and 100% covered by Health Insurance! During this event day, prevention will also be discussed because it is an important lever in the fight once morest colorectal cancer. Indeed, lifestyle has a significant influence on the risk of developing this type of cancer (avoiding smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, adopting a balanced diet with more fiber and less meat as well as practicing physical activity regular). The League once morest cancer recalls that it is important to be attentive to symptoms such as blood in the stool, unexplained weight loss or transit disorders and that a consultation with a specialist is necessary in case of doubt.
