Laura Vater, Gastrointestinal Oncologist at the IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, shared a post on X:
“A few reminders from a GI oncologist during colorectal cancer awareness month:
– No adult is ‘too young’ to have cancer. I routinely see pts in their 30-40s with symptoms for months and work up was delayed.
– Don’t ignore anemia or iron deficiency.
– 45 is the new 50. Get screened!”
