Zuerst geht es um den Travel ban aber danach um Screening. Payne schlägt vor das Screening Alter zu senken. Außerdem wird in dem Interview thematisiert,dass offenbar die Diagnose Darmkrebs am steigen ist.
[...] Williams: The National Cancer Institute has just released a study that demonstrates that the colorectal cancer rates are going way up for people who are young, relatively speaking. I know this is the fifth anniversary of the death of your dear father from colorectal cancer. Do you think the age, the minimum age for screening — the guideline was at the age of 50 — do you think that should be changed?
Payne: Oh, absolutely and even through my looking into it and learning about it, I was telling African-Americans that they should be tested at 40. So now, we’re seeing incidences in younger people in their 30s. So obviously, we need to re-look at when we’re asking people to get screened.
Williams: What more can people do to prevent colorectal cancer, other than being screened routinely?
Payne: Well, I mean that’s the key. It’s the most preventable cancer that there is, if it’s detected early enough. So, there’s no reason that we should have the numbers of people dying from this disease. It’s a matter of us continuing to try to get the word out every way we can and I do as much as I can. I just, once again, had a resolution asking that March be designated Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. President Obama signed it four times and we’re hoping to get the same signature from 45.
