Colorectal cancer can be treated easily, improving the quality of life if the patient is detected at an early stage. Therefore, even if you don't experience bothersome symptoms, it's a good idea to have regular check-ups.
Colorectal tumors often develop from small polyps. 1 cm polyps never show symptoms, but can be detected through colonoscopy and removed endoscopically.
Notably, people 45 and older should have regular colonoscopy and blood tests. If no cancerous cells can be found in the biopsy, a colonoscopy should be performed once a year. For people with a family history of colorectal cancer, a more thorough examination and screening is needed, starting at age 25.
