Recap: How to combat colon cancer | Dr. Andy Chan


Listen Later

Today, we’re diving into an important and growing health concern: colon cancer.

Recent studies show that cases of colon cancer are becoming increasingly common in younger adults. In fact, the rate has doubled among people under 50 since the 1990s, prompting doctors to lower the recommended age for screening.

So what can we do to protect ourselves and our loved ones?

I’m joined by Harvard Medical School professor, Dr. Andy Chan, to talk about the importance of colon cancer screenings and how changes to our diet could help reduce the risk of this disease.
