Colon and Rectal Cancers: More than a million Americans get colon or rectal cancer each year; the deaths from the disease number is increasing each year. Regular annual physical examinations which include internal inspection with a lighted instrument (proctoscopy) could detect 75 per cent of these cancers soon enough for cure. The death rate could be cut by more than half if adults would get proper colon and rectal examinations, easily performed in a doctor's office, once a year. |
