Additionally, African Americans have a higher rate of proximal, or right-sided, polyps, and may have a worse prognosis for survival if the polyps become cancerous. Therefore, the results of this study further emphasize the importance of colonoscopies, which view the entire colon, for the prevention of colorectal cancer beginning at age 50. http://www.physorg.com/news139585733.html Medicine & Health Tue, 02 Sep 2008 14:48:53 EST news139585733
