Assessing your individual risk
You have a higher risk if you have any of the following risk factors:
• Personal history of colorectal cancer or polyps• Personal history of inflammatory bowel disease• Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps• Certain inherited cancer syndromes
Even without symptoms, people with these risk factors need earlier and more frequent screening
6
Assessing your individual risk
Also, you have a higher risk if you have one or more of the following symptoms:– Rectal bleeding– Iron deficiency anemia– Change in bowel habits; constipation or diarrhea– Persistent abdominal pain
If you have these symptoms, you should seek evaluation immediately.
7
AVERAGE RISK
If you don’t have these risk factors or symptoms, you are considered to have average risk for developing colorectal cancer.

Why aren’t Iowans screened?
• The most common reasons -
• “My doctor never told me I should be screened.” • “I’m embarrassed!” • “The screening tests cost too much!”• “I don’t think that insurance covers screening.”• “I don’t have a family history of colorectal cancer.”• “I don’t have any symptoms of colorectal cancer.”

How do you screen for colorectal cancer?
Beginning at age 50: Fecal occult blood test (FOBT) every year or Flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) every 5 years,
or FOBT annually + FS every 5 years or Colonoscopy every 10 yrs or Double -contrast barium enema every 5 yrs.

FOBT AND FS
• FOBT detects larger, bleeding polyps, but is less accurate for smaller, non-bleeding polyps
• Flexible sigmoidoscopy detects left-sided lesions, but misses 30-40% of all polyps and cancers that are right-sided
• The combination of both tests largely corrects the limitations of performing either test alone. FS + FOBT=75%

What Should You Consider in Choosing a Screening Test
• What does my doctor recommend?
• Which test is most accurate?
• Which test is most convenient?
• Which causes the least discomfort, fear embarrassment?
• Cost-insurance, Medicare coverage?
• What do other people say about it?

Medicare Coverage for Average Risk patients
(since July 1, 2001)
29
Don’t wait until 65 to be screened!
• Insurance covers most, if not all kinds of screening. Consult your insurance plan or provider to determine which tests are covered.
• Screening should begin at age 50, not at age 65, when Medicare coverage begins.
30
The Cost of NOT screening
– Individual early disability and death
– Emotional costs for patients and
family
– Treatment cost of colon cancer care
31
So What?
• An average risk adult has a 1 in 18 chance of developing this cancer.
• A high risk adult has a 1 in 5 chance of developing this cancer.
Can you afford to take this chance?
