Colorectal cancer remains one of the most important preventable cancers in the United States. The good news is that patients have more screening options than ever. The best test is the one that is appropriate for your risk level and actually gets completed on schedule.

Colon cancer can develop quietly. Many people feel completely well, have no pain, no bleeding and no change in bowel habits — and still have precancerous polyps or early colorectal cancer.

Eighty-one-year-old Mike Loyd is somewhat of a handy man. “I've always been kind of active mechanically,” he claims. “But it was kind of getting difficult to do things with my hands because they were hurting so much.”

That’s when he went to see Shripal Bhavsar, M.D., a radiation oncologist at INTEGRIS Health Cancer Institute. Bhavsar recommended using low-dose radiation to treat Mike’s osteoarthritis. This technique uses small amounts of X-ray energy to target inflamed and painful joints.

“For Mike, we set up a plan to essentially treat all of the joints in both of his hands,” says Bhavsar. “We were able to do both hands at the same time. We did roughly a couple treatments a week for about eight weeks. At the end of that, he felt considerably better.”

Patients frequently report returning to hobbies they previously abandoned due to physical limitations. For Mike, he's back in his garage tinkering with his cars.

Last weekend, the INTEGRIS Health Cancer Institute held its 39th annual National Cancer Survivors Day celebration at Scissortail Park.

Activities included therapy dogs, a kids’ zone with arts and crafts, face painting and a magician, chair massages and live entertainment. But the highlight of the event was recognizing the bravery of all cancer survivors and their families.

The event honors their courage and resilience by offering inspiration to those newly diagnosed and support to patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals.
