The Johns Hopkins White Papers redefine the term "informed consumer." In The Johns Hopkins White Paper: Colon Cancer, specialists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report in-depth on the latest colon cancer screening tests, effective colon cancer prevention strategies, and the latest cutting-edge treatments.
-
The numbers are alarming: The American Cancer Society ranks colorectal cancer—a term that includes cancers of both the colon and the rectum—as the #3 cause of cancer overall in the United States (and the #2 leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women).
Yet it is one of the most preventable cancers, thanks to what we now know about effective colon cancer prevention. It is also one of the most curable of all cancers if you detect it and treat in its early stages.
The five-year survival rate for colon cancer when it is discovered and treated in the early stages is over 90%. In addition, early screening may reveal pre-cancerous growths (polyps) that can be removed easily, preventing you from developing colon cancer in the first place, even if you have a family history of colon cancer.
The key to colon cancer and treatment is current, accurate, reliable knowledge. That's where The Johns Hopkins White Paper 2008: Colon Cancer can help you beat this life-stealing disease.
This 68-page report is filled with the cutting-edge research and advice you need to help you prevent and defeat this highly curable cancer.
