Colorectal cancer: The alarming rise in the number of young people diagnosed 

Turbo cancers in younger people in the past 3 years. Let’s think about what changed?? Hmmm.. what could it be?

I had colon cancer in my mid fifties...only sign I had was anemia so when my Dr. suggested that I really needed to have a colonoscopy to rule colon cancer out I told him that I had never had any problems in that area and I would put colon cancer at the bottom of my list of cancers I was worried about getting. After a few months I did go get that colonoscopy, and sure enough it was cancer. I was very,very lucky that mine was caught in time. I never knew though until later that being tired could also be a cancer sign. I think getting blood work done at least once a year and being tested for anemia should be encouraged also. Thank-you Katie for all the work you do on this topic...

After my mom’s booster - she was diagnosed with this type of cancer in an advanced state. She’s had surgery already and went through chemo. 😢

It's do to the huge amounts of highly processed foods people eat. Junk food is cheap. Fresh fruits and vegetables are expensive. The opposite should be true!

TOXINS. In everything almost.

I'm doing my colorectal and endoscopy I was putting it off and I'm doing it Katie Thank you for pushing us I'm one that's listening now never too late if you're saying this you're still here

Also all the chemicals in our foods.

It's all to do with the absolute carbohydrate garbage people eat which is sanctioned by the "health" authorities. Insulin resistance is at the root of most modern day disease including cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc.

Thank you so very much for hosting this incredibly important conversation! Congratulations on your sweet new grandson - pure joy! I went through breast cancer just a few months before you (nearly identical diagnosis and treatment). Also both have 2 girls ( I have a Caroline too!)❤️Thanks again - will share this message!

People who have cystic fibrosis are living longer now thanks to new meds...and colon cancer is now showing up in CF patients when they are in their 30s. My friend was diagnosed stage 4 colon cancer at 29. Thankfully he beat it ❤

Pretty sure negativity increases your risk of all cancers.

Love your hair! Thank you for this video ❤

Thank you & sharing!

My colorectal endoscopy is Wednesday, April 3rd!

Might there be a correlation with obesity rates?

My little brother was 34 when he was diagnosed with colon cancer. My doctor said that I needed to get a colonoscopy due to his diagnosis, I was 36 at the time and they removed 15 precancerous polyps. The doctor said that it was a huge number and I have yearly colonoscopies now because of that. And a week ago a friend of mine was diagnosed with colon cancer. She's 50. Hers had already spread to her lymph nodes. I use a squatty potty now. Don't know if it helps, but my brother swears that everyone should use one 😅 African Americans should have their first colonoscipy no later than the age of 45, Caucasians at the age of 50. And if you have a first degree relative who had colon cancer you should have a colonoscipy 3 years before the age that person was when diagnosed. My brother was 34, so all of his first degree relatives should be screened at 31. Medical insurance will cover it with a family history.

Informative. Thank you

Thanks for this discussion....my Sister had terminal co!on cancer at a young age of 30 back in the mid 1980s. Sad to hear it's worse now...too much in our foods, ultra processed, with pesticides and now micro plastics in the news. Feel sad about it

Thank you for a very informative discussion. As someone who had a colon resection due to diverticulitis, I'm curious about your theory about the sigmoid colon and the environmental effects on our colon overall.

In 1990 my Mom DX at 48, stage III C. 14 months later, she was gone 54 days short of 50. 5FU chemo never touched it. My paternal grandmother had it also. PLEASE GET SCREENED!!! Yeah, the prep sucks. No whining, do it! It's a couple of hours of your life from prep to finish every 10 years for most people. My Mom knew something was up for months. Fear got the better of her. Delay cost her her life. PLEASE GET SCREENED!!!

Australia : Every 2 years we receive a kit to send back with our fecal matter to a laboratory for testing. Every Australian receives this kit between 50 to 70 years of age. There is a percentage that don't use this free facility 😢😢😢

Judy Garland died from Colin Cancer, she was a heavy alcoholic. My mother had colon cancer, had some of her colon removed, she came home from the surgery with a colostomy bag on her stomach to heal from the surgery. She fully recovered and was cancer free the remainder of her life. The sad thing was she ended up dying from complications from Alzheimer's. It was so sad seeing her become like a child in her early 60's.

proton pump inhibitors also kill microbiome and should have never been made available without prescription without admitting to the risk to our gut.

Would like to know where all the tests are allegedly tested and who, how diagnosis is given.

Thank you Katie Couric and Dr. Marshall for an easy-to-understand informational interview. I luckily have no genetic or familial gene (at least those which are known) for this cancer. However I do have regular testing done...with my insurer's permission and time table. I like Dr. Marshall's suggestion of including the blood test in all checkups to determine the population of healthy bacteria in your body. Dr. Marshall is probably correct, finding out how/why some cancers get past of body's TSA would be an important fact not just to treat, but to prevent cancer's spread.

Thank you Katie for such an informative video! As a Lynch Syndrome “Previvor” this entire message resonates and I will be sharing this on my socials. I will also recommend to my podcast listeners at “The Positive Gene Podcast”! ❤️💙🧬

My oncologist is aware of this and he does not know why but he knows his clinic needs expanding. My cancer would have been considered always fatal a few years ago but now, with some luck, my stage 4 cancer can possibly be maintained.

Kaiser permanent in Northern California does a yearly stool test. No colonoscopy. Maybe start doing those stool test really early.

Love your hair❤

Maybe a strain of HPV?

Did my colonoscopy at 49 only because I have a family history of cancer, otherwise the system only allows it as 50 (Canada). I wouldn’t have been able to electively do one unless I pulled the family history card. Defo ensuring all my peers are getting theirs. It’s sad to hear about the proliferation amongst younger folk. But weren’t we warned they’d be a cancer explosion? Processed food and sugar might be big sources, as time moves on we make more and more simulated food, and it becomes normal for younger generations. Prolly a big factor.

I’m familiar with that too well, more than I would like to be. I believe colorectal cancer is the worst.

Katie you look beautiful. Love your hair.

I wonder how ma y of these 0:46 kids received the jab how many jab didi they receive .

No one loves Katie more than I do.

Thank you for sharing the joy of a new baby then dedicating your show to raise awareness about colon cancer among our youth. There is also a growing increase in fatty liver disease among young adults. Colon cancer like fatty liver disease (non-alcoholic & alcoholic fatty liver disease) are health problems we've seen in older adults for generations. Sedentary lifestyles and obesity are recognized as contributing to fatty liver disease. I am more concerned about the growing exposure to polluted air, water and chemical residues in our food. There are plenty of studies linking air pollution to illnesses and yet we've waved away the scientists' warnings because we are indifferent to "vulnerable" age groups/populations like the elderly. Contaminants are accumulating and now the young are dealing with illnesses before they can ever imagine becoming grandparents. Inspection of food, personal care and household items is not a priority. In this day and age we still found high levels of lead in imported spices and baby apple sauce. I agree, that we need studies to make wise decisions. We must hire large numers of scientists and inspectors, to make sure that we aren't buying food that is adulterated, contaminated, bug or vermin infested or chemically treated to reduce bacteria. Unfortunately, the daily weather reports do not include actual figures for ozone, methane, benzene and many other molecules we inhale.

Ultra marathoners often have undiagnosed REDS. Plus they overuse dietary supplements (gels or protein alternatives and so on) that are often contaminated with junk.

We have Brca 1 mutation in the family . My grandmother died of colon cancer and I’ve been advised to screen now at 40 with colonoscopy. So no we don’t know all the pathways these genes take . I trust my doctors and colonoscopies should be given to BRCA positive patients earlier !

I'd like to more about why the doc is dismissive of probiotics? Since adults aren't eating dirt, wouldn't probiotics be better than nothing?

Blame the explosion in rare and aggressive cancers on the forced toxic experimental clot shots. Rectal, colon, brain and breast cancers are off the map especially in very young adults

Foods! What you put in!

Let’s just parrot “safe and effective, safe and effective”

Hi, Katie. I'm Connor Clouse from the state of Texas. There's a spider on your head! April Fools. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Well, I wanna do a poop test.

Can you say Covid vax

What royals eating?you can include in your research

Vaccine vaccine vaccine!

Scratching your head , where's it been? I can think of a few things that could be causing the colorectal cancers, let me list a couple; Poisoned foods, poisoned water, toxic medications, toxic behaviors (sodomy)...

I got the worse last 2, sorry

The jab

💉 🐘 in the room.

there is nothing wrong with wearing a wig

Scratch no more! It's obvious, and it doesn't take a degree to make that assumption!

COULD YOU HAVE PICKED A WORSE HAIRSTYLE???
