It’s one of the most deadly cancers in the U.S., yet it is almost entirely preventable.

As we enter Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Travis Wiggins of Gastroenterology Consultants of Savannah PC has a powerful reminder: "The best test for colon cancer screening is the one that gets done."

Through colonoscopies, doctors can identify and remove polyps before they ever turn into cancer. While rates are declining in those over 50, we are seeing a disturbing rise in cases for those in their 40s. Whether it’s through a screening or a lifestyle change, now is the time to take control of your health.

How you can reduce your risk:
- Get Screened: If you are 45 or older (or younger with a family history), schedule your colonoscopy.
- Know Your History: 1 in 3 people who develop colorectal cancer have a family member who had it.
- Watch Your Diet: Increase natural fiber and limit processed red meats.
- Move Your Body: Aim for 150 minutes of exercise per week to maintain a healthy weight.
- Stop Smoking Now: Smoking raises risk for many cancers and chronic diseases.

We are so proud to be the title sponsor for Get Your Rear in Gear and help raise colon cancer awareness in our region. Grab a loved one and join us on race day. Or better yet, get screened!

We are seeing a sharp increase in colon cancer cases, especially in younger people. That’s one reason why several years ago the American Cancer Society lowered the average-risk age to 45 from 50 to start screening.

“New studies show colon cancer is now the No. 1 cancer death in males under the age of 50, and the second leading cancer death in women under the age of 50,” explains Dr. Gregory Borak, gastroenterologist with Gastroenterology Consultants of Savannah PC. “The incidence rate is going up about two percent each year.”

“They say by the year 2030 about 25 percent of colon cancers will be in people 50 and younger.”

To help better understand the screening process and its importance, Dr. Borak answers some frequently asked questions about colonoscopies in the comments.
