This is how we reduce the death rate from bowel and rectal cancer by up to 70%.
An important and large German study on bowel and rectal cancer advised all 50-year-olds to undergo an endoscopy. If the results are good and no changes appear or polyps form, then the examination can be re-examined after ten years, i.e. at the age of sixty, and this early examination helps reduce the death rate of 70% of this cancer. Those who cannot perform endoscopy can at least examine the stool annually between the ages of 50 and 54 Then every two years. In the event that a trace of blood is discovered, then an endoscopy must be performed to find out its cause if the cancer is behind it.
In the case of bowel cancer in a family member, the situation is different. And then the intestinal endoscopy should be performed at shorter intervals.
