Detect Polyps Early, Prevent Cancer Decades Later
March has been colorectal cancer awareness month. A reminder of the work of Bert Vogelstein, one of the most cited cancer researchers in history. He showed that colorectal cancer is a slow, stepwise process (often over 20–25 years): normal tissue ➡️ small adenoma (polyp) ➡️ large adenoma ➡️ adenocarcinoma. That insight changed everything. Because if you detect and remove a polyp early, you’re not treating cancer, you’re preventing it decades before it appears. At a time when colorectal cancer is significantly rising in younger people, this matters more than ever. Screening saves lives. Get your colonoscopy.
