A member asked:
What are the chances of getting cancer from ct colonoscopy because of the radiation at age 33?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Your risk will not increase measurably over your background risk. You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, maintain healthy weight, get HPV vaccine, exercise 30 minutes each day, drink enough water so your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
