While an editorial in the NEJM noted that in a perfect world patients should be able to choose the type of test they preferred, Canada is no perfect world. Three things, Schabas says. To help lower your risk, Schabas recommends a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. While consuming bran used to be considered protective, the results today are inconclusive. What's being said is eat your bran, but load up on that broccoli, too.
Physical activity is also important.
Studies have shown that couch potatoes are at higher risk of the disease. As for chemo-prevention, talk to your doctor about taking Aspirin which, along with calcium, have been shown to reduce the recurrance rate of the polyps. But the best prevention, as far as Schabas is concerned, is still screening. With this kind of prevention, we will really break the back of colon cancer in the future.
