Over 90% of colorectal Cancer patients can be successfully treated when the disease is detected early. In Vietnam, according to the 2022 Glocoban report, there are over 17,000 new cases of colorectal cancer each year, with an increasing trend among younger people due to unhealthy diets and lifestyles.

Why is early screening necessary?

• In case of no symptoms or unclear symptoms: In the early stages, the signs of digestive cancers are often indistinguishable from common gastrointestinal disorders, leading patients to overlook symptoms and resulting in late detection, which negatively affects treatment outcomes.
• Risk Factors: Medical experts advise early screening if you have risk factors such as:
  • An unhealthy diet high in fats and proteins but low in vegetables.
  • A family history of colorectal cancer, colorectal polyps, chronic colitis.
  • Clinical signs including abdominal pain, irregular bowel movements, unexplained weight loss, mucous-laden stool, and prolonged alternating constipation and diarrhea.

Who should undergo colonoscopy?

Even if you do not experience any symptoms, it is recommended to have a colonoscopy between the ages of 40 and 45, as this is the period when digestive tract lesions are more likely to appear. Individuals with high-risk factors—such as chronic enteritis, chronic colitis, or irritable bowel syndrome (if never examined by colonoscopy before)—should take proactive steps towards early screening.
