**Besides regular colonoscopies, what other lifestyle modifications and preventive measures can individuals take to reduce their risk of developing colon cancer?**
## Colon Cancer: A Growing Threat in Thailand, Early Detection is Key
**Bangkok, Thailand** – Colon cancer is on the rise in Thailand, posing a serious threat to public health. While individuals over 50 remain at higher risk, an alarming trend shows increasing cases among those under 45.
Starting as small growths called polyps within the large intestine, colon cancer develops through abnormal cell division. These polyps can eventually transform into cancerous tumors. Early detection and treatment are vital for successful outcomes.
Doctors strongly recommend regular colonoscopies, a procedure that examines the lining of the colon and rectum, for individuals aged 45 and older, even in the absence of symptoms.
**Why Colonoscopy Matters:**
* **Early Detection:** Colonoscopies can identify polyps before they develop into cancer.
* **Immediate Treatment:** Polyps can be removed during a colonoscopy, preventing further complications.
* **Reduced Risk:** Early detection and polyp removal drastically reduce the risk of developing colon cancer.
**MedPark Hospital Leading the Fight Against Colon Cancer:**
Committed to providing top-notch care, MedPark Hospital’s Gastrointestinal Disease Center and Center for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Liver Disease emphasizes the importance of high-quality endoscopy for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
The center utilizes cutting-edge technology, including AI-powered DeepGI, which enhances polyp detection and differentiation, even in hard-to-reach areas. This innovative technology boosts confidence for both patients and doctors.
**Beyond Colonoscopy:** MedPark Hospital offers a comprehensive range of advanced services:

* **Endoscopic Ultrasound:** Combining ultrasound with biopsy for precise diagnosis.
* **Polypectomy:** Endoscopic removal of large polyps.
**Beyond Age and Lifestyle:**
While age, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lifestyle habits play a role in colon cancer risk, other factors can increase susceptibility:
* **Family History:** A family history of colon cancer significantly increases risk.
* **Previous Bowel Issues:** Individuals with a history of inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease are at higher risk.
* **Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome:** Overweight and obese individuals have an increased risk of colon cancer and related conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and fatty liver disease.
* **Sedentary Lifestyle:** Lack of physical activity contributes to increased risk.
**Regular Check-ups and Healthy Habits:**
Early detection through regular colonoscopies and a healthy lifestyle are crucial for preventing and managing colon cancer.
Maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and consuming a balanced diet are essential preventive measures.
Remember, knowledge is power. Stay informed about colon cancer risks and take proactive steps to protect your health.
