Colon Cancer

Other risk factors include polyps on the wall of the colon or rectum and ulcerative colitis. If you have had either of these conditions, you will most likely develop colon cancer later on. People who have IBD, or Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or Crohn's Disease are also at high risk. As with any other illness or disease, it is ideal to prevent it instead of waiting to do anything until you actually have it. Colon cancer prevention is easier than curing a problem. The first step in prevention is to get regular screenings.
