CAPITAL 958 城市频道:【958健康需知】大肠里的息肉和癌变

In this CAPITAL 958FM radio interview, Dr. Chok Aik Yong shares in depth about polyps, which are abnormal growths in the intestinal lining. While it may be harmless, some can become cancerous if left untreated.

He highlights two main ways the presence of polyps are identified – through symptoms such as blood in stool or changes in bowel habits, and through colonoscopy, which is the gold standard for detection and removal.

Dr. Chok also notes that colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Singapore and stresses early screening, healthy eating, and lifestyle habits as key preventive measures.

在这期 CAPITAL 958FM 城市频道 电台访谈中，卓钰扬医生讲解了结肠息肉及其重要性。息肉是肠道黏膜上的异常增生，虽然多数为良性，但若不处理，部分可能演变为癌前病变。

他指出两种主要发现方式：一是症状，例如大便带血、排便习惯改变；二是通过结肠镜检查，这是检测与切除息肉的标准。

卓医生同时强调，结直肠癌是新加坡最常见的癌症之一，提醒公众及早筛查，并保持健康饮食与生活方式以降低风险。
