such as smoking and obesity are important in the development of colon cancerbefore age 50. Up to a third of people who develop cancer at a younger age have a genetic condition that puts them at high risk. Environmental factors may also contribute to younger people developing colon cancer. ...
Why is genetic counseling and testing important in hereditary colon cancer syndromes? Patients who have hereditary colon cancer syndromes usually have no symptoms and are unaware that they have colon polyps or early colon cancers. They usually will develop colon cancers early in life (often before ...

which can be a sign of colorectal cancer. You have to do it every year. Unlike other home tests, the gFOBT requires you to collect more than one poop sample. And because certain drugs and foods can affect the results, you have to avoid them for several days before testing. It's less...
These genetic changes in cancer can be examined using extraordinary technologies such as DNA sequencing, genomic testing and tumor molecular profiling. Samples can be collected by biopsies from tumors or in some cases, circulating DNA from patients with premalignant lesions. Cancer molecular profiling ca...
