Why Screening is Important
It’s a good reminder that the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force recommends adults
age 50 to 75 be screened for colorectal
cancer. According to the American Cancer
Society, colorectal cancer is the third-leading
cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S.
- and early in the disease, there are often
no symptoms.
“Too often, when people begin experiencing
symptoms of colorectal cancer, the
disease has advanced to a point where it’s
much more difficult to treat,” said Dr. Philip
Painter, chief medical officer, UnitedHealthcare
Medicare and Retirement. “That’s why
it’s so important to get screened at age 50
if you have no risk factors - and earlier, if
you do.”
People who are longtime smokers, overweight,
physically inactive and those with a
family history of colorectal cancer in a parent,
sibling or child are at an increased risk.
Nearly 148,000 new cases of colorectal
cancer were expected to be diagnosed in the
U.S. in 2020. About 80,000 of those cases
were estimated to be among adults 65 and
older. And yet only 61% of Americans age
50 and older have had a colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy Prep
You may be asked to begin a procedure to help
prepare the bowel and colon for examination.
Your doctor will likely instruct you to cut
out fiber from your diet two days before
your colonoscopy. One day before, you
will eat no solid foods, and no liquids that
are orange or red. You may consume clear
juices, gelatins, popsicles, clear broth and
coffee or tea without creamer. The evening
or morning before your exam, you will drink
a liquid that will induce bowel movements.
You may find that the preparation for a
colonoscopy is not as unpleasant as you
have heard. In recent years, colon-cleansing
solutions have become better tasting, and
lower amounts of the laxative solution are
sometimes used.
The procedure itself is not lengthy - typically,
about 30 to 60 minutes. Sedation is
usually recommended, and you may feel
slight cramping during the exam, but many
may feel nothing at all.
If your results are negative, doctors typically
recommend another colonoscopy in 10 years.
“Taking preventive steps like getting your
colonoscopy can literally save your life,” Dr.
Painter said. “If you are over 50 and have not
yet had the test, it’s best to get that scheduled
as soon as possible.”

PURSUANT TO the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines
Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the
California Code of Regulations, staff
has determined that it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that
adoption of amendments to Chapter
17.87 and Appendix B of the Hawthorne
Municipal Code would have any significant
effect on the environment as there is no
change in use, density or intensity of uses,
nor would amendment of Chapter 17.87
and Appendix B result in direct physical
development of the project areas. In
addition, future development within the
project area was anticipated and evaluated
within the scope and analysis of
the Final Environmental Impact Report
for the Mixed Use Overlay Zone and
R-4 (Maximum Density) Zone project,
certified by the City Council on May 24,
2011 (SCH #2009061099), for changes
to Chapter 17.87.
PLEASE NOTE that pursuant to Government
Code Section 65009: In an action or
proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void,
or annul a finding, determination or decision
of the Planning Commission or City Council,
the issues raised shall be limited to those
raised at the public hearing in this notice or
in written correspondence delivered to the
Planning Commission or City Council at or
prior to the public hearing.
