In most cases, it develops from benign precursors, the so-called polyps (adenomas). Over various stages, even small polyps can develop into malignant intestinal tumors (colon cancer, colon carcinoma) after five to 15 years,&#8221; explains Dr. Mazen Nassif, a German specialist in gastroenterology at the Policl\u00ednica Glorieta in D\u00e9nia.  <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To prevent this from happening, the expert recommends regular colorectal cancer screening. Regularly means every eight to ten years for men over 50 and women over 55. Exception: If there are family predispositions, one should start with the screening check from the age of 35; in case of a hereditary variant already from the age of 25.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hereditary colorectal cancer is caused by a detectable change (mutation) in a single hereditary trait (gene).<\/li>\n<li>Familial colorectal cancer is when the disease occurs more frequently in a family but cannot be traced back to a single gene. Many genes are involved here in combination with environmental factors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Precautionary measures significantly reduce risk<\/h3>\n<p>A recent study from Massachusetts shows just how successful colorectal cancer screening is: &#8220;Regular screening reduces the risk of developing colorectal cancer by up to 70 percent,&#8221; says Dr. Nassif of the results. Numerous other studies have even shown a risk reduction of up to 90 percent if the polyps from which tumors develop are removed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;

Numerous other studies have even shown a risk reduction of up to 90 percent if the polyps from which tumors develop are removed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was surprised and &#8211; to be honest &#8211; particularly pleased by this positive development myself.&#8221; The physician also knows from his own practical experience that early detection is of elementary importance, especially in the case of colorectal cancer. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t come in until you have complaints, it&#8217;s usually very late, unfortunately.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>State-of-the-art system with a pleasant feeling in the stomach<\/h3>\n<p>With the SonoScape HD-550, Policl\u00ednica Glorieta has one of the most modern endoscopy systems. &#8220;One of the very big pluses of this is the use of CO\u2082 instead of room air to unfold the gut&#8221; explains Dr. Nassif. Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the intestine about 150 times faster than room air and is completely exhaled through the lungs. &#8220;This makes bloating and abdominal pain after a colonoscopy, which occur when room air is used, a thing of the past.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>How does it work, the colonoscopy?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;In any case, painless and uncomplicated,&#8221; the specialist knows. &#8220;The only caveat is that you should avoid hard-to-digest foods for two days beforehand.&#8221; The evening before the examination, one would then have to take a laxative. &#8220;But there are no more restrictions than that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sedation is given before colonoscopy. &#8220;Unlike anesthesia\/anaesthesia, this only puts you into a twilight sleep,&#8221; Dr. Nassif emphasizes. &#8220;Patients don&#8217;t get to hear about the actual exam and are always very surprised that it&#8217;s all over, even though they just thought we were getting started.&#8221; If the specialist discovers polyps during colorectal cancer screening, he removes them immediately. With good preparation, the examination is over after 20 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that the patient has an escort or comes by cab, because you should not get behind the wheel of a vehicle yourself afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;gcid-0a4b8514-58d9-4d28-81c8-4795182d86df&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;40px|10px|90px|10px|false|false&#8221; link_option_url=&#8221;https:\/\/pglorieta.com\/en\/contact\/&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-0a4b8514-58d9-4d28-81c8-4795182d86df%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Take responsibility for yourself now<\/h3>\n<h3>and make an appointment at 965 27 8800!<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_text=&#8221;Contact&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; button_use_icon=&#8221;off&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-100px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo: Victor Manuel Perez Bolufer Prevention instead of cure: This is why colorectal cancer screening is so importantIt is widespread &#8211; but also easily curable, provided it is detected in time: Colorectal cancer. &#8220;A malignant tumor in the colon does not develop spontaneously.
