For everyone here to do homework, copy paste this:
Cells in the colons lining are renewing themselves all the time. When the genes that moderate this process go awry, it leads to the excessive growth of new cells, which in turn turns into small growths of clumped together cells called polyps. A lot of these polyps won't cause harm, but sometimes they become cancerous. These cancerous growths produce cells rapidly, expanding further into the colon. At that point, they can transform into colon cancer. This process can happen over the time of ten years, and no one knows why. What we do know is oncogenes need to be activated in order for the polyp to become cancer. Proto-oncogenes keep the cells in check, and when they mutate, they become oncogenes, and cells are able to divide rapidly without anything stopping them. Regular screening for polyps can prevent colon cancer before it even starts. Screening can be done with a colonoscopy, which is the most effective way. It can also be done with a CT scan or at home test. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also increase risk of cancer.

My family has a history of cancer (its usually fatal and family members die. if they get better or cancer free it doesnt last long) And i had a polyp in my colon in my last hospital visit (i was throwing up and. was in horrible pain worse than usual)
They did a ct scan to find i have ibs and a polyp that has a bit of growth. i felt so devastated and my mom was so worried (plus my condition was getting worse and they had to keep pumping meds into me to keep my heartrate up and to keep me from feeling pain and naesua)
But they didnt find anything in the blood test they did as well so idk. im afraid that its a start (ive also saw that blood test are hard to determine since it comes up as anemic)

Think
Salty foods and too many highly preserved foods seem, from the country-by-country data, to be the primary dietary risks as far as I can tell.
Your colon should be thought of as your roots, as though you were a plant, and the stuff you eat becomes the soil to which you expose your roots. Just as you can burn the roots of plants, you can burn your own roots, i. e. your colon. This can then lead to chronic inflammation, which can then lead to problems with the regular operation of your colon and the provocation of cancer.

Removing a Polyp does not mean the cancer is gone. My mum has a Polyp removed and then 5 years later CT Scan shows cancer spread all over the body! So removing the polyp only does not stop it. Once the cancer has spread, the chemotherapy does not cure cancer, it only buys the person time. Chemo like 5FU Folofox etc cannot cure cancer that has spread. This video does not mention vital information. You need to look into the info properly before presenting it.

My dad's friend died from colon cancer because he never ate vegetables. Whenever, one of us doesn't want to eat vegetables, he tells us about him. (I don't care which vegetable I eat, I eat every single one except eggplant)

My dad died of colon cancer 4 months ago he was 66. I had regular screenings but one doctor failed to realized the difference between a tumor and a hemorrhoid. Grr! I am 29 soon to be 30. It has been really hard without him.

My uncle pasted away in August thanks to stage 4 colon cancer. He was fighting it for 4 years, and it runs in his family; his brothers, father and one of his sisters are all dead from cancer. He was 43 years old
