Colo-Rectal Cancer: Action Points for Family History | Dr. Sandeep Nayak | MACS Clinic

In this video, Dr. Sandeep Nayak from MACS Clinic discusses an important topic: what tests are available for individuals with a strong family history of colon and rectal cancer. If you or your loved ones have experienced multiple cases of colorectal cancer in the family or have been diagnosed before the age of 50, this video is for you.

Dr. Nayak explains the role of genetic testing—a simple procedure that involves collecting a blood sample or cheek swab to look for specific mutations in your DNA. These mutations could indicate conditions such as Lynch Syndrome or Familial Adenomatous Polyposis (FAP), both of which significantly increase the risk of colorectal cancer.

By identifying these mutations early, doctors can take proactive steps, such as regular colonoscopy screenings or even preventive surgery, to greatly reduce the risk of invasive cancer and avoid complex treatments later.

This video helps you understand who should undergo these tests, what to expect, and how early detection through genetic testing can not only guide the treatment of the affected person but also protect the entire family.

Watch this video to know the action points if colorectal cancer runs in your family. Early screening and preventive care can save lives.
