   Encouraging homosexual behavior and injecting gay cancer up your   
   asshole won't help either.   
      
   If you’re young and you don’t think you need to worry about   
   certain types of cancers, you might want to think again.   
   Researchers have recently determined colon cancer is no longer   
   an exclusive cancer for the elderly. According to a study   
   published in JAMA, scientists from the University of Texas   
   examined data from 383,241 patients from 1975 to 2010, and they   
   concluded that although instances of colon and rectal cancer   
   have dropped since 1998, there has been an increase of the   
   disease among the 20 to 49 year-old age group. Researchers   
   predict that by 2020 and 2030, colon cancer rates will increase   
   between 38% and 90%, respectively among the age groups of 20-34,   
   yet will drop by 23% among people older than 50.   
      
   The research team was led by Dr. Christina Baily. She believes   
   that the decrease in colon cancer instances among seniors is   
   most likely due to modern treatment and screening options. “The   
   increasing incidence of [colon cancer] among young adults is   
   concerning and highlights the need to investigate potential   
   causes and external influences such as lack of screening and   
   behavioral factors. Further studies are needed to determine the   
   cause for these trends and identify potential preventive and   
   early detection strategies,” Baily wrote.   
      
   Colon cancer is often terminal. A large percentage of victims   
   die within 5 years of diagnosis. According to the National   
   Cancer Institute, nearly 97,000 people will be newly diagnosed   
   with colon cancer and 40,000 with new rectal cancer this year   
   alone. It’s predicted that 50,000 of that total will die from   
   those cancers.   
      
   While some specialists believe that there are genetic factors   
   and dietary lifestyles that may lead to colon cancer, there are   
   no exact specifics that definitively determine the disease.   
   According to Dr. Jerald Wishner of the Colorectal Surgery   
   Program at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, NY,   
   “There are no standardized recommendations for screening   
   patients under 50 without risk factors. This explains the poor   
   prognosis for patients who present at a younger age with   
   symptoms. Many patients are unaware of what these risk factors   
   are. It is important for all adults to discuss their risk with   
   their primary physician and consider early screening if there   
   are any risk factors or symptoms.”   
      
   Fortunately, scientists are hoping to make strides in   
   preventative medicine. According to The Washington Post, they   
   are in the early stages of developing possible vaccines. In the   
   meantime, doctors recommend that those who have family history   
   of colon cancer to get regular screenings. The American Cancer   
   Society suggests eating 5 or more servings of fruits and   
   vegetables a day, and limiting alcohol intake as a natural form   
   of prevention.
