Importance of Early Screening

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women combined in the U.S. Of all cancers, colorectal cancer will take the most lives of people under 50 by 2030. 1 in 23 men, and 1 in 26 women will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. We have a powerful defense against this disease; GET SCREENED! With screening, colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable of all cancers. The current age for screening for average-risk individuals is 45. For more information, I highly recommend these organizations.
