Colon cancer screening saves lives

Did you know colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. for men and women combined? And the majority of colon cancers are found in individuals with little to no family history of it.

Although colorectal cancer can be preventable, it's essential for all average-risk adults 45 years old and older to begin screening. It would be in the best interest of those at high risk to begin screening even earlier. Your doctor can remove the detection of precancerous polyps (precursors to cancer) during a colonoscopy screening.

Protect yourself from colon cancers and ask your doctor about screening options today.
