Thanks also to @MNGIhealth Chief Medical Officer Paul Dambowy, MD for his input today. If you learned something about your own risk or are at an age where you should be screened, request a @MNGIhealth appointment today https://t.co/m3yzW5BICq #CRCchat
#ThankYou @MNGIhealth for hosting us today! It was a lot of fun! Let's do it again sometime! We look forward to learning what other topics people want to #CRCchat about in the future.
Thank you for joining us today! Feel free to keep the conversation going. And let us know what other topics you’d like to discuss in the future. What other questions do you have about #colorectalcancer? We can try to address them in a future chat! #CRCchat
A7: NO NO NO, recent news stories have provided false information that has caused the #colorectalcancer community to speak up and explain the research correctly. #crcsm #ayacsm #CRCchat
Q7: Have recent news stories changed your views on cancer screening? #CRCchat

@ARosen380 @TheQueenVee A6 not sure, but my guess is men may be more reluctant to talk about symptoms or screen??? #crcchat
@MNGIhealth @ACS_Minnesota A7: No, we believe that the study actually reinforces the work that has been done in the United States to educate and discuss these issues with patients and the public at large.

A7: No. It has reinforced the need for awareness, education & early screening. #colorectalcancer is deadly but also highly preventable & Americans should not be deterred. Colonoscopy by a highly skilled gastroenterologist is still best & most trusted way to save lives. #CRCchat
Q7: Have recent news stories changed your views on cancer screening? #CRCchat
A6: Like my good friend a colorectal cancer survivor @TheQueenVee says, if you have a colon you are at risk!! Everyone needs to know the signs, symptoms, risk factor, their family history etc. #colorectalcancer #CRCchat #crcsm #ayacsm #colonoscopy
Q6: Are there other factors that contribute to risk? Does #colorectalcancer affect some men and women more than others? #CRCchat
A6: In addition, many societal and cultural barriers exist mostly affecting men, but women as well.
Hesitancy to go to the doctor or discuss symptoms, especially for traditionally "taboo" topics.

A6: Access to insurance and preventative screenings can elevate a person’s #risk for #colorectalcancer.

A6: #CRC is slightly more common in men, but women are equally at risk. It’s more important to know your family history of #colorectalcancer & polyps, since 8-10 % of all #colon cancers are inherited. #Getscreened & maintain a healthy lifestyle. #CRCchat https://t.co/U9X51oYZBR

Yes!!!!! #CRCchat
A5: As an advocate I tell everyone the best screening test is the ONE THAT GETS DONE. The gold standard is a #colonoscopy but stool-based tests & new blood tests are used for screening too. If these latter ones are positive, you still need to get the colonoscopy #CRCchat #CRCSM

Q5: The screening age has been lowered to 45, a start in combating the rise of young onset #colorectalcancer. What are the current screening rates for colorectal cancer (CRC)? When should screening begin? What are the screening options? #CRCchat
@Ms_pitzer @MNGIhealth @ACS_Minnesota It is so easy to ignore the signs when it feels like an obvious explanation. Your story is so important to share, because I'm sure there are many people like you who have a similar experience!

@MNGIhealth @ColonCancerCoal @ACS_Minnesota Q4 no biological family to tell. My dad was an only child & I was an only child (in that bloodline) and my son is adopted due to stage 3 diagnosis at young age (chemo & radiation) #crcchat
