Preventing colorectal cancer
Did you know that colon cancer can be prevented? Proper colon cancer screening can detect colon cancer early when it's most curable. Everyone over the age of 50, and those with a strong family history are at elevated risk for colon cancer. Talk with your doctor about screening tests like colonoscopy, and lifestyle changes to help prevent colon cancer.
