Screening & Prevention: The Way Forward
regular screening could potentially serve as a more cost-effective strategy, mainly by: 6
✓Detecting CRC at an early, favorable stage; ✓Preventing CRC through the early detection and removal of pre- cancerous polyps; ✓Reduce/save cost ✓Save life

Men and Colorectal Cancer: Higher Risk but Poorer Awareness & Attitude
❑ As compared with women, men have ➢ poorer knowledge about symptoms of colorectal cancer.9 ➢ relatively negative attitude toward colorectal cancer screening.10 ➢ a higher risk of delay in first treatment
Evidence: Poorer Health Behaviors in Men
Smoking rate is higher in men worldwide.2,3 Men exceed women in high- volume alcohol consumption.4 Men have a higher risk of gravitating towards substance use.5
Worst of All: Men Have Poorer Health-Seeking Behaviors
Delayed help seeking for their physical illnesses.6 Stigma-driven refusal to seek help for mental and mood disorders.7 Less use of health facilities.8

Issue 1: Poor Uptake of Colonoscopy (a qualitative study from Kedah) 7
iFOBT result, which is primarily due to the:
✓ Perception that it is an unnecessary procedure; ✓ Fear of pain and feeling of embarrassment; ✓ Time constraint and transportation problem; ✓ Poor support from family members and friends.
iFOBT = Immunochemical fecal occult blood test.
