Thank you @Fox35Amy for the opportunity to educate the #Orlando community on #ColonCancer & importance of #Screening

⭐️Early detection = better survival

⭐️When caught early, colon cancer is 90% curable.

⭐️Many people with early colon cancer have no symptoms ➡️ screening is the most powerful prevention tool!

⭐️Average risk: Start at age 45 (earlier if you have risk factors).

⭐️High risk: (family history, inflammatory bowel disease, genetic syndromes) – may need screening earlier

[American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) @AmerGastroAssn]

Amazing to see so many GIs sharing about the importance of #ColorectalCancer screening starting at age 45! 🤩 Tag @AmerGastroAssn if you have a TV appearance so we can reshare! #CRCMonth

Every week, I see a new study talking about this or that effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists like #ozempic. FINALLY, we have a study evaluating all the outcomes (good and bad) in one dataset. There are some... surprises. 🧵
