Toufic Kachaamy: Lowering Colon Cancer Risk – What Every Woman Should Know

Toufic Kachaamy, Chief of Medicine and Director of Gastroenterology at City of Hope, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Lowering Colon Cancer Risk: What Every Woman Should Know

I joined Amar Rewari in highlighting few issues about colon cancer for Women on Women’s World.

Colon cancer is often thought of as a ‘man’s disease,’ but the truth is, it affects women too and it’s one of the most preventable cancers. Even if not prevented, when caught early, it is curable. In the article, I join simple, science-based ways to help reduce your risk:

  • Foods that protect your gut and lower inflammation
  • The power of movement and maintaining a healthy weight
  • How hydration, alcohol avoidance, rest, and stress management all play a role
  • Why timely screening is one of the most important things you can do for yourself today
  •  How important it is to know your family history and personal risk

As a physician, I’ve seen how awareness and small lifestyle changes can make a big difference and the consequences of missed screening opportunities which can dramatically change lives or shorten it.

Empower yourself with knowledge and not fear.

If this resonates with you or someone you care about, I’d love for you to give it a read and share it with others who might benefit.
