Colorectal Cancer Screening: Why Early Detection Saves Lives

Colorectal Cancer Screening: Why Early Detection Saves Lives

Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers—when caught early. Yet, screening rates remain too low, and cases in younger adults are rising at an alarming rate. Disparities in access to screening also put certain communities at higher risk, making awareness and early detection more critical than ever.

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Reezwana Chowdhury, a leading gastroenterologist at Johns Hopkins and Chair of the American College of Gastroenterology's (ACG) Public Relations Committee. She's also a dedicated advocate for improving awareness in the South Asian community through her work with the South Asian IBD Alliance (SAIA).

We cover:

  • Who should get screened and when

  • The rise in early-onset colorectal cancer

  • The connection between IBD and colorectal cancer risk

  • How screening can save your life

This episode is presented in collaboration with the American College of Gastroenterology's Patient Care Committee.
