Colon Cancer Awareness with Dr. Crystal McKay

Join hosts Dr. Mikaela Rush and Dr. Anne Sharkey for a guest episode of the From Tits to Toes Podcast featuring board certified Gastroenterologist Dr. Crystal Bowden-McKay. Colon cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon) and usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells or polyps.  During this episode the doctors discuss screening recommendations, types of screening, the preparation required for a colonoscopy, the risk factors for developing colon cancer and more.  We also discuss recent updates to colon cancer screening guidelines as well as the pros and cons of Cologuard and other non-colonoscopy screening methods.
