What you eat, how old you are and even your race or ethnicity could put you at higher risk for cancer. But there’s a lot you can do to prevent cancer or at least detect it earlier to improve your treatment options and outcomes.Denver7 sat down with Andrea Dwyer, who leads the Colorado Cancer Screening Program at the University of Colorado Anschutz, to learn about early screening.Most Coloradans only go to clinics or hospitals when they feel sick, but Dwyer said we need to change that.
Why shouldn't you really look at checkups for yourself?”Even if you feel fine, Dwyer said your risk goes up as you get older, and more people are getting diagnosed with cancer at a younger age. Latinos get diagnosed on average at roughly a decade younger than other races and ethnicities.It’s recommended you start getting screenings for breast cancer as early as 40 years old, for colorectal cancer by 45 and for lung cancer around 50, according to guidelines from the Cancer Screening Program.
