Colorectal Cancer 101 With Janice Rafferty MD, colorectal surgeon with The Christ Hospital If you still consider it taboo to discuss your colon and rectal health, you should know that talking about it could save your life. "No one dies of embarrassment," says Janice Rafferty, MD, a board-certified colon and rectal surgeon with The Christ Hospital. "If you're talking to your physician about your colon functions and health, you're already on your way toward preventing colorectal cancer." Who's at risk? Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States, partly because it often goes undiagnosed. Reduce your risk by understanding your family's history. Reduce your risk by becoming conscious of your diet. Reduce your risk by establishing a relationship with a gastroenterologist. Reduce your risk by kicking the smoking habit for good. Reduce your risk by living an active lifestyle. Reduce your risk by listening to your body.
