Toufic Kachaamy, Chief of Medicine and Director of Gastroenterology at City of Hope, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Honored to contribute to an important conversation sparked by the recent passing of James Van Der Beek from colorectal cancer.
In the Perez Hilton article,
I had the opportunity to share practical insights on subtle colorectal cancer symptoms that many people overlook, especially in younger adults, and the importance of advocating for yourself with your healthcare provider.
Colorectal cancer doesn’t always start with dramatic symptoms, and signs like changes in bowel habits, persistent discomfort, fatigue, or rectal bleeding can easily be mistaken for benign conditions. Knowing these early warning signs and acting on them can make a life-saving difference.
Thank you to Perez Hilton for the platform to share this message and to all those working to raise awareness around colorectal cancer. Early detection saves lives and screening can prevent the cancer altogether.”
