Cancer of the large intestine
(colon cancer) is the second most
common cause of cancer death in
the United States. w„..
MORE THAN 7000 new cases
of colon cancer will be diagnosed
in Texas this year approximately
15 of these will be found at Fort
Hood.
Cancers which are found early
are frequently curable while those
detected late are difficult to treat.
As little as five years ago most
of the colon cancers found at Fort
Hood were late cancer. With better
patient education and more fre-
quent colon examinations this
trend has been reversed. In fact
during the last three years most
of the colon cancers diagnosed at
Fort Hood were early cancers.
This trend will continue if each
individual maintains an awareness
of the symptoms of colon cancer
and a willingness to participate in
screening programs such as the
one offered this month ......

to develop effective methods for
detecting colon cancers while they
are still small and fairly easy to
treat.
Doctors at Memorial Sloan Ket-

and at the University of Min-
nesota have evaluated a simple
colon cancer screening test on tens
of thousands of people. Their test

tected in people who have not par-

THE SAME type of screening is
always available at Fort Hood
through various clinics at Darnall

This procedure lets the doctor
examine the entire colon through

abnormal growths (polyps).
During May the Fort Hood med-
ical community will try to screen
every active duty soldier and fam-
ily member 40 years of age or
older.
In the initial screening a chemi-
cal reaction is used to detect blood
in small stool samples which are
brought in on special collection
cards.
Samples found to have blood in
their stools (probably only 3-5 per-
cent of those tested) will then be
^referred for colonoscopy.
Screening kits which contain a
brief questionnaire instruction
sheets and three specimen collec-
tion cards may be obtained at any
PRIMUS Clinic Troop Medical
Clinic or DACH outpatient clinic.
Completed questionnaires and
specimen cards should be returned
to the DACH General Surgery
Clinic on the first floor.
TH WAR against cancer is
won one individual at a time. May
is an excellent month to join the
fight by picking up a colon cancer
.sqyeening kit at your nearest out-
patient clinic.
