Don't Miss Your Chance to Prevent Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is here and this may be your chance to prevent colorectal cancer. The most effective way to lower your risk of colorectal cancer is to get screened regularly, beginning at age 50. Through screening, colorectal cancer can be prevented. Screening can find polyps (abnormal growths) that can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening can also find colorectal cancer at an early stage, when treatment works best. Several different screening tests can be used to find polyps or colorectal cancer. If you are age 50 or older and have not been screened for colorectal cancer, talk to your doctor about which tests are right for you and how often you should be screened. Find out how colorectal cancer screening is making a difference for people with these personal stories. Learn more about colorectal cancer screening tests.
