Webinar: Screening and Prevention for Colon Cancer
Wed, Mar 25, 2015 12:00pm to 1:00pm ET
Description
Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist, Paul J. Limburg, M.D. discusses information on colon cancer prevention and screening methods. A live question and answer session followed his presentation.
Thank you. I have Lynch and always find any info. such as you gave to be helpful. I would like to hear from other people with Lynch. It feels quite lonely because you don't hear about too many with the genetic disorder...other than family.
Informative presentation: did not answer one question I have often heard posed. Are there any symptoms that would indicate the presence of colon cancer. Changes in bowel habits? Gastric disturbance>
I'm 79 years old. Both of my parents had CRC and my mother died of it at 82. At my last colonoscopy, I was told that because I was over 75, I didn't need any more screenings. I don't understand his reasoning. Please comment.
Thank you! That was very beneficial webinar and I am so glad you have answered my question, too. It is such an advantage having this type of technology where we can attend such webinar/meeting from our own home. I look forward to attending different webinars as well.
Excellent and very informative web session. Thank you! I hope you will have a copy of this webinar / presentation on YouTube for later use so I can share with other family members to view.
