Kuyesa kwa Cologuard ndi chiyani?

Cologuard ndiye njira yokhayo yoyeserera-poyezera khansa ya m'matumbo yomwe imavomerezedwa ndi Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Cologuard amayang'ana zosintha mu DNA yanu zomwe zitha kuwonetsa kupezeka kwa khansa yam'matumbo kapena tizilombo tating'onoting'ono tomwe titha kukhala m'koloni mwanu.

Cologuard ikudziwika chifukwa ndi yovuta kwambiri, komanso yosavuta, kuposa mayeso achikhalidwe a colonoscopy.

Pali zowona zabwino pakuyesa kwa Cologuard pakuwunika khansa, koma palinso zovuta zina, kuphatikizapo nkhawa zakulondola kwake. Pitilizani kuwerenga kuti mupeze ngati mungaganizire mayeso a Cologuard kuti muwone ngati ali ndi khansa ya m'matumbo.

Kodi Cologuard amagwira ntchito bwanji?

Khansa ya m'matumbo ndi khansa yachitatu yomwe imadziwika kwambiri ku United States, pomwe American Cancer Society (ACS) ikuyerekeza kuti opitilira 100,000 apezeka chaka chino.

Ngakhale mulibe zizindikilo kapena mbiri yakubadwa ya khansa yamiyala, yomwe imakuikani pachiwopsezo "chambiri", madotolo amakupangitsani kuti muyambe kuwunika muli ndi zaka 45 (malingaliro a ACS) kapena 50 (upangiri wa U.S. Preventive Services Task Force [USPSTF]).

Mayeso a Cologuard a khansa ya m'matumbo pozindikira DNA yachilendo ndi kuda kwa magazi mu chopondapo chomwe chimatha kuyambitsa matenda amtundu wa khansa komanso khansa ya m'matumbo.

Dokotala wanu adzafunika kuti akupatseni mayeso musanathe kuitanitsa chida cha Cologuard. Mutha kulemba fomu patsamba la kampaniyo lomwe limapanga fomu yokonzekera kuti mubweretse kwa dokotala wanu.

Ngati mukuyesa mayeso a Cologuard, nazi zomwe muyenera kuyembekezera.

1. Mulandila zida zomwe zikuphatikiza zonse zomwe mungafune kusonkhanitsa chopondapo osalumikizana pang'ono ndi chopondapo chanu. Chikwamacho chimaphatikizapo: bulaketi ndi chidebe chosonkhanitsira, kafukufuku ndi chubu cha labu, yankho loteteza lomwe lingasunge zitsanzo zanu mukamatumiza, ndi chiphaso cholipiriratu chotumizira bokosilo ku labu.
2. Pogwiritsa ntchito bulaketi yapadera ndi ndowa yosonkhanitsira yomwe imabwera ndi chidacho, khalani ndi matumbo pachimbudzi chomwe chimapita molunjika mu chidebecho.
3. Pogwiritsa ntchito kafukufuku wapulasitiki wotsekedwa ndi chidacho, tenganinso swab ya matumbo anu ndikuyiyika mu chubu chapadera chosawilitsidwa.
4. Thirani yankho lakutetezera lomwe likuphatikizidwa mu zida zanu muzitsulo zanu ndikupukusira chivindikiro chake mwapadera.
5. Lembani fomu yomwe ikukufunsani zambiri zanu, kuphatikizapo tsiku ndi nthawi yomwe zitsanzo zanu zinasonkhanitsidwa.
6. Ikani zitsanzo zonse ndi zambiri mubokosilo la Cologuard ndikubwezeretsani ku labu pasanathe maola 24.

Amagulitsa bwanji?

Cologuard ili ndi makampani ambiri a inshuwaransi yazaumoyo, kuphatikiza Medicare.

Ngati mukuyenerera (azaka zapakati pa 50 ndi 75 zakubadwa) kukayezetsa khansa yam'matumbo, mutha kupeza Cologuard popanda ndalama zakuthumba.

Ngati mulibe inshuwaransi, kapena ngati inshuwaransi yanu singakwanitse, mtengo wokwera kwambiri wa Cologuard ndi $ 649.

Ndani ayenera kuyesedwa ku Cologuard?

Chiwerengero cha omwe akuyesedwa ku Cologuard ndi anthu omwe ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu ndipo amayenera kuyesedwa khansa yamatumbo pafupipafupi.

USPSTF ikulimbikitsa kuti akulu ku United States azaka zapakati pa 50 ndi 75 azakafikiridwa pafupipafupi khansa ya m'matumbo. Malangizo a ACS akuyenera kuyamba kuwunika zaka 45.

Ngati muli pachiwopsezo chowonjezeka cha khansa ya m'matumbo chifukwa cha mbiri ya banja lanu, kusintha kulikonse komwe mwabadwa nako, mtundu, kapena zina zomwe zingayambitse chiopsezo, lankhulani ndi dokotala wanu za kuyamba kuwunika ngakhale kale.

Zotsatira zoyesa za Cologuard

Labu itawunika zoyeserera zanu, zotsatira zoyeserera za Cologuard zimatumizidwa kwa dokotala wanu. Dokotala wanu adzakufunsani zotsatirazi ndikukuyenderani njira zotsatirazi kuti mukayesenso ngati mukufuna.

Zotsatira za mayeso a Cologuard zimangosonyeza "zoipa" kapena "zabwino". Zotsatira zoyesa zoyipa zikuwonetsa kuti kunalibe DNA yachilendo kapena "hemoglobin biomarkers" yomwe imapezeka mchitsanzo chanu.

M'Chingerezi chosavuta, izi zimangotanthauza kuti kuyesa sikunapeze chizindikiro chilichonse cha khansa yam'matumbo kapena ma polyps omwe ali ndi khola lanu.

Mukapeza zotsatira zabwino za Cologuard, zikutanthauza kuti mayeso adazindikira zizindikilo za khansa yam'matumbo kapena ma polyps.

Zabwino zabodza ndi zoyipa zabodza zimachitika m'mayeso a Cologuard. Malinga ndi kafukufuku wamankhwala a 2014, pafupifupi 13% yazotsatira zochokera ku Cologuard zinali zabwino zabodza ndipo 8% zinali zoyipa zabodza.

Ngati muli ndi zotsatira zabwino, dokotala wanu akulimbikitsani kutsatira mayeso a colonoscopy.

Kuyesa kwa Cologuard vs. colonoscopy

Ngakhale Cologuard ndi colonoscopy zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mayeso owunika, amatenga njira ziwiri ndikupereka chidziwitso chosiyana.

Mayeso a Cologuard azizindikiro za khansa ya m'matumbo ndi ma polyps. Dokotala wanu akamapanga colonoscopy, akuyesera kuti adzipezere okha tizilombo ting'onoting'ono.

Colonoscopy imakhala ndi chiopsezo chochepa chazovuta, monga momwe zimakhalira ndi zotsekemera kapena kuboola matumbo anu. Cologuard alibe zoopsa ngati izi.

Kumbali inayi, Cologuard:

• Nthawi zina amatha kuphonya tizilombo tating'onoting'ono tomwe timayang'aniridwa, komwe kumatchedwa cholakwika
• Nthawi zambiri mumatha kuphonya kupezeka kwa tizilombo tating'onoting'ono
• imakhalanso pachiwopsezo chachikulu chabodza, chomwe colonoscopy sichichita

Cologuard ndi colonoscopy zitha kugwiritsidwa ntchito limodzi kuwunika khansa ya m'matumbo. Cologuard amagwira ntchito ngati mayeso osagwira, oyamba mzere kwa anthu omwe ali pachiwopsezo chachikulu cha khansa ya m'matumbo.

Zotsatira zabwino zochokera ku Cologuard zikuwonetsa kuti kuyesereranso kumafunikira, pomwe anthu omwe ali ndi zotsatira zoyipa atha kukhala ndi mwayi wopewa colonoscopy kutengera upangiri wa dokotala wawo.

Ubwino woyeserera kwa Cologuard

Kuyesa kwa Cologuard kuli ndi maubwino angapo owonekera pamitundu ina yamayeso.

Zitha kuchitika kunyumba, zomwe zimachepetsa nthawi muzipinda zodikirira kapena kuchipatala kukayezetsa.

Anthu ena amakayikira njira ya colonoscopy chifukwa nthawi zambiri imafuna kukhala pansi.

Cologuard imakulolani kuti muwonetsedwe popanda kukhala ndi sedation kapena anesthesia. Komabe, ngati mayeso anu a Cologuard ndi achilendo, ayenera kutsatiridwa ndi colonoscopy.

Cologuard sikufunikiranso kukonzekera kulikonse. Simuyenera kusiya kumwa mankhwala kapena kusala kudya musanayese mayeso a Cologuard.

Zovuta zoyesa kwa Cologuard

Pali zovuta zina pamayeso a Cologuard, makamaka okhudzana ndi kulondola kwake.

Zoyeserera za chopondapo zimakhala ngati colonoscopy zikafika pofufuza tizilombo toyambitsa matenda ndi zotupa.

Malingaliro abodza atha kubweretsa nkhawa zambiri zosafunikira ndikudikirira kuyezetsa kotsatira. Magulu abodza abodza okhudzana ndi Cologuard amapangitsa madokotala ena kukhala osamala za mayeso.

Zoipa zabodza - kapena kusowa kupezeka kwa khansa yam'mimba kapena ma polyps - ndizothekanso. Mlingo wonama wabodza umakhala wokwera ma polyps akulu.

Popeza kuyesa kwa Cologuard kuli kwatsopano, palibe chilichonse chokhudza momwe njira yowunikirayi ingakhudzire malingaliro anu a nthawi yayitali ngati mutha kukhala ndi khansa ya m'matumbo.

Mtengo wa Cologuard ndichopinga chachikulu ngati mulibe inshuwaransi yomwe imaphatikizapo kuwunika kotereku.

Kutenga

Khansa ya m'matumbo imachiritsidwa, koma kuzindikira msanga ndi gawo lofunikira pakupulumuka kwa anthu omwe ali nayo. Khansa ya m'matumbo yomwe yapezeka koyambirira kwake ili ndi 90% yopulumuka zaka 5 atazindikira.

Khansa ya m'matumbo itapitilira patsogolo, zotsatira zabwino zimachepa kwambiri. Pazifukwa izi, CDC imalimbikitsa kuyesa zowunikira zaka zitatu zilizonse kwa anthu azaka zopitilira 50.

Mungafune kuthana ndi nkhawa, mantha, ndi mafunso omwe muli nawo okhudzana ndi ma colonoscopy ndi njira zowonera ku Cologuard mukamadzayendera pafupipafupi.

Osachita manyazi zikafika polankhula za kupewa ndi kuwunika kwa khansa ya m'matumbo.

Yambitsani zokambiranazi pofunsa za chiopsezo chanu chonse cha khansa ya m'matumbo kutengera mbiri yaumoyo wanu kapena kufunsa dokotala wanu za Cologuard ndi kulondola kwake.
