Why Colorectal Cancer Screening Matters
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.—but it doesn’t have to be. According to Dr. Michael Gilbert, a full-time provider at Monadnock Community Hospital, every death from colorectal cancer is preventable with proper screening.
In this informative seminar, Dr. Gilbert shares his goal: that no one in the Monadnock region should die from colorectal cancer. With the right screening strategies and timely care, this goal is within reach.
Key Takeaways from the Seminar
- 1 in 20 Americans will develop colorectal cancer in their lifetime.
- 1 in 3 adults will have a polyp by age 45—the age when screening should begin.
- Polyps often have no symptoms but can grow into cancer over time.
- Early detection through colonoscopy or other screening options can prevent cancer before it starts.
What You’ll Learn
- What puts you at risk for colorectal cancer
- How polyps develop—and how they can be safely removed
- The different types of screening tests available, from colonoscopies to at-home kits
- How often you need to get screened, based on age and risk
- Why symptoms often show up late—and why feeling healthy isn’t a reason to skip screening
- What you can expect during a colonoscopy, and how MCH ensures your comfort and safety
Dr. Gilbert also addresses the emotional and practical barriers to screening, from fear and discomfort to insurance questions and prep options. His compassionate, approachable style makes it easier to understand how screening works—and why it saves lives.
