colon cancer

Colon cancer(colorectal cancer) strikes approximately 155,000 Americans every year, and one out of every 25 people in the United States will develop colorectal cancer. Over 56,000 deaths from colorectal cancer will occur this year. It is second only to cancer of the lung in frequency as a killer. The incidence of colorectal cancer increases with age, starting at age 40. Colorectal cancer is the most prevalent internal cancer, affecting men and women in almost equal numbers. Among the risk factors are: age (over 40); low fiber; high fat diet; family history of colorectal cancer, polyps, and personal history of inflammatory bowel disease.

A promising long-term study of 46,000 people, released in March 1999 by The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, proved that using a Fecal Occult Blood Test every year could prevent up to 33,000 deaths nationwide by catching and treating the disease in its early stages. The findings prompted government health officials to announce a new campaign to encourage all Americans over 50 to annually use a fecal occult blood test and led to the U.S. Senate declaring March 2000 “National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month”.

The EZ Detect™ Stool Blood Test is the most advanced product to detect blood in the stool, an early warning sign of colorectal cancer and other colorectal diseases. The test is an easy to use, quick, accurate and cost effective way to help you determine if you have blood in your stool. The test does not require handling of the stool or diet restrictions.
