Made in conjunction with the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) the short, easy to understand five-minute films highlight the advances being made in the fight against all types of cancer, around the world. One film in the series tells the inspirational story of Gladys Dykes, who is the recipient of a CheckIt4Andretti foundation colonoscopy grant.

Understanding the stages of colon cancer and the recovery statistics at each stage 🧬💙 ⁣ Stage 0: Caught early, with recovery above 90%. Regular screenings can help detect precancerous polyps. ⁣ Stage I: The cancer has started growing into the wall of the colon. With prompt treatment, the 5-year survival rate is around 90%. Early intervention is key.⁣ ⁣ Stage II: Cancer has spread beyond the colon wall but hasn't reached nearby lymph nodes. The 5-year survival rate is approximately 60-80%, depending on various factors. Aggressive treatment and monitoring are crucial.⁣ ⁣ Stage III: Cancer has reached nearby lymph nodes. The 5-year survival rate ranges from 40-70%. A combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiation can improve outcomes.⁣ ⁣ Stage IV: Cancer has metastasized to distant organs. The 5-year survival rate drops to around 10-15%. However, innovative treatments like targeted therapies and immunotherapies provide hope and prolonged survival for many patients.⁣ ⁣ Remember, these statistics are general and every individual's case is unique. Early detection, proactive treatment, and unwavering support make a significant difference 💙🎗️ #ColonCancerAwareness #ColonCancer #CheckIt4Andrett i#GetScreened #Colonoscopy #Polyps #EarlyDetection
