Are you overwhelmed by conflicting recommendations about colon cancer screening?

With so many test options—FOBT, FIT, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, CT colonography—it’s easy to assume that “more screening is always better.” But is that really true?

Colon Screening Dilemmas cuts through the uncertainty and equips you with the clarity you need to make informed, confident decisions about your colon health.

Drawing on the most rigorous medical evidence, Dr. ID OKPOMBOR transforms complex research on colorectal cancer, polyps, test accuracy, and screening outcomes into clear, accessible explanations that anyone can understand.

Inside this guide, you will learn:

• The true burden of colorectal cancer—and why timing matters
• Which risk factors place you in a high-risk category (family history, genetic syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease, personal history of adenomas)
• How each screening test actually performs in real life—its accuracy, limitations, false positives, complications, and ideal intervals
• The difference between detecting cancer and preventing it (and which tests do both)
• Why some tests miss up to 25% of polyps—and which offer the highest protection
• The evidence behind mortality reduction from FOBT, sigmoidoscopy, and colonoscopy
• The potential harms of screening including perforation risk, overdiagnosis, radiation exposure, and unnecessary procedures
• How major medical societies develop guidelines—and why their recommendations sometimes differ

Beyond the science, Dr. OKPOMBOR provides the essential tools you need to take charge of your healthcare:

• How to determine your personal risk level
• How to evaluate when to start—or stop—screening
• How to talk with your doctor about test options and trade-offs
• How to avoid unnecessary testing while ensuring you don’t miss lifesaving early detection

Clear, balanced, and rooted in evidence, Colon Screening Dilemmas is your comprehensive guide to understanding one of the most important—and most misunderstood—screening decisions adults face.
