Dr.Tarun Mullick has done lot of research in the area of Cancer at Johns Hopkins,Cleveland Clinic and Univ.Of Virginia.He has received Governor’s award from American College of Gastroenterology.
Early Detection is the KEY and of course eating well helps–but as Dr.OZ found out this week–there is no substitute to Early Colonoscopy.
On Larry King show on 9/9/2010-Larry asked Dr.OZ—Why 37% of people in age group 50-75 did not get Colon Cancer Screening? Dr.OZ could not answer that question.
Dr.Tarun Mullick believes that unlike Breast Cancer–which receives lot of publicity with several events–resulting in higher % of Screening–Colon Cancer is not receiving the communities attention. Katie Couric helped a lot–but people forget after a few weeks.
Kristine Tabor’s effort to organize “Community driven awareness” is Key to improve Colon Cancer screening %.
Dr.Tarun Mullick believes “Painless Cancer screening and offering Pediatric Scope” to people afraid of Colonoscopy is important.
