⬇️ Pidgin ⬇️ ⬇️ Black American Slang ⬇️ English
Di latest tori from American Cancer Society don show say while cancer deaths dey decrease for United States, colorectal cancer, wey people sabi as colon cancer, deaths dey go up. 📉📈
Dis new report, wey dem call Cancer Statistics 2024, dey yarn about di current cancer facts and trends. E show say even though general cancer deaths dey reduce, na different story for colorectal cancer — e dey rise, especially for men under 50 years and women under 50 for U.S. 🧑⚕️👩⚕️
Why colon cancer deaths dey increase? Rebecca Siegel, wey be big oga for Surveillance Research for American Cancer Society, talk say one big reason na because of how well dem don control tobacco use. E mean say lung cancer deaths don drop well-well. But, colorectal cancer dey increase for both men and women under 50 years. Researchers dey look into reasons like obesity, changes for diet, plenty sitting down lifestyle, too much antibiotics, and even gut exposure to microplastics. 🍔🚬
Siegel add say, “Di rise in colorectal cancer for people under 50 na di same for both men and women. E show say no be hormonal or body changes, but something from outside environment or how we dey behave na im cause am.”
Another expert, Dr. Anton Bilchik, wey be surgical oncologist, talk say another theory fit be inflammation. E talk say, “Inflammation dey cause increase for heart diseases and cancer.” E also emphasize say make education about wetin pikin dem dey chop and avoiding too much sitting down start from young age. 🚸🍏
Dr. Steven Lee-Kong, wey be professor of surgery, talk about other factors wey fit dey cause di increase for colon cancer deaths. E mention things like no go for regular health check-up, no sabi family history wey fit increase risk for colorectal cancer, and no know say dem don reduce di age for screening.
Wetin to know about colorectal or colon cancer:
Colorectal cancer dey affect di colon — part of di large intestine — and di rectum. E dey currently di third most common cancer for world. Normally, e dey affect older adults over 50 years, but e fit happen for any age. Recent studies show say colorectal cancer diagnoses don almost double among young adults. 🌍
Typical symptoms for colon cancer include:
- Bloody stool,
- Frequent diarrhea or constipation,
- Stomach pain, cramps, or bloating,
- Fatigue,
- Unexplained weight loss.
Dis type of cancer normally start from cell clumps wey dem call polyps wey dey grow inside di colon. While dem no dey automatically cancerous, dem fit turn to colon cancer over time.
Polyps fit dey found during regular screening tests, wey dem recommend for adults ages 45 to 75, and then dem go remove am.
Di earlier dem spot colorectal cancer, di better di treatment options and chance to survive. Di five-year survival rate na 91% if dem find di cancer before e spread pass di colon or rectum. 🏥💪
So, make we dey vigilant and do regular check-up to stay ahead of dis colon cancer wahala! 🩺🚑
NOW IN BLACK AMERICAN SLANG
🔥🏥 Heads Up on Colon Cancer: It’s Not Slowing Down Like Other Cancers
Aight, here’s what’s up: The American Cancer Society just dropped some facts, and it turns out while overall cancer deaths are on the down-low in the U.S., colon cancer deaths are actually climbing. 📉📈
This new report, they’re calling it Cancer Statistics 2024, spills all the tea on the latest cancer stats and trends. It’s showing that even though cancer deaths in general are taking a dip, colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a whole different story – it’s rising, especially in folks under 50, both men and women. 🧑⚕️👩⚕️
So why is colon cancer bucking the trend? Rebecca Siegel, who’s running things in Surveillance Research at the American Cancer Society, says it’s partly ’cause tobacco control’s been on point, leading to a major drop in lung cancer deaths. But, for those under 50, colon cancer’s on the up. Researchers are digging into reasons like more folks dealing with obesity, changes in what we eat, chilling too much without moving, overusing antibiotics, and even exposure to microplastics messing with our guts. 🍔🚬
Siegel adds, “This rise in colon cancer for the under-50 crowd is hitting both men and women the same. It’s looking like it’s not about hormones or internal stuff, but more about changes in our environment or how we’re living.”
Dr. Anton Bilchik, a surgical oncologist, throws in another idea – inflammation. He’s saying, “Inflammation’s linked to more heart disease and cancer.” He’s stressing that we need to start teaching kids early about eating right and staying active to dodge these health traps. 🚸🍏
Dr. Steven Lee-Kong, a surgery professor, points to other possible reasons for the uptick in colon cancer deaths. He’s talking about folks not keeping up with their health screenings, not having good health insurance, not knowing their family’s health history which could up their risk, and not being hip to the recent changes in screening ages.
Now, let’s break down what’s up with colorectal or colon cancer:
This cancer hits the colon — part of your large intestine — and the rectum. Right now, it’s the third most common cancer out there. Usually, it’s something older adults over 50 have to watch for, but it can hit anyone, any age. Recent studies are showing that young adults are getting diagnosed almost twice as much. 🌍
Here’s what colon cancer looks like:
- Blood in your stool,
- Running to the bathroom too much or not enough,
- Belly pain, cramps, or feeling bloated,
- Feeling worn out,
- Dropping weight without trying.
This cancer usually starts from these little clumps of cells called polyps in your colon. They’re not always cancer, but they can turn into it.
These polyps can get spotted during regular health checks, which docs suggest for folks 45 to 75, and then they can get them outta there.
The sooner you catch colon cancer, the better your chances are to beat it. The five-year survival rate is 91% if it’s found before it spreads beyond the colon or rectum. 🏥💪
So, let’s stay sharp and keep up with those health checks to stay ahead of this colon cancer game! 🩺🚑
