Research on the importance of colon cancer screening

The paper presents research on the importance of colon cancer screening. Online surveys were used for data collection. The data of interest was the prognosis of each of the 100 participants. Prognosis depended on the side of the cancer in the colon and the urgency of screening. All the participants tested positive upon their first cancer screening, but their prognosis varied. The study assumed the presence of polyps as positive upon screening.

Due to the limitations associated with screening young adults, the study used the data from persons above 50 years. The data was non-numerical and relied on the participants’ responses, and this made the study prone to limitations. After analyzing the responses and categorizing them, those that had screened early enough had a favorable prognosis. Also, some of those that did not seek early screening had a favorable prognosis, particularly those that had left colon cancer. Those with right colon cancer had an unfavorable prognosis. The survey also captured some of the reasons for not screening early, which varied among the participants. Based on the results, early screening is the best option.
