Inspiring story emphasizing the importance of paying attention to symptoms #Colorectalcancer is rising in young adults Early attention to symptoms & screening at age 45 are essential to change the trend @UCLAHealth @AnnRaldow_MD @UCLASurgery @UCLAJCCC @JoeHines15 #UCLAGI
Kyle McEwen hoped his extreme stomach pain was just the flu. A second opinion from UCLA's Dr. Michael Albertson revealed it was #adenocarcinoma – a malignant tumor in his rectum. Kyle's diagnosis underscored a recent trend: More younger people are developing #ColorectalCancer.
