A member asked:
How does colorectal cancer on both sides affect what i feed my family?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High fiber low fat: A diet rich in fiber and low in fat may reduce the risk of colon cancer. Screening colonoscopy at 40 or even earlier may be warranted with a strong family history. You should discuss the use of Aspirin or related drugs for prevention, with your doctor.
