March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Colorectal cancer screening saves lives. Regular screening, beginning at age 45 for most people, is the key to preventing colorectal cancer. Regular colonoscopies have been shown to substantially decrease the rate of colon cancer. And colon cancer is highly treatable when caught early. Lower Your Risk for Colorectal Cancer by taking control of your weight, don't smoke, and avoid alcohol.
