Let's talk about screening
Colon cancer is highly preventable and treatable. Yet more than 50,000 people die from colon cancer each year in the U.S. The key to improving these statistics is to ensure that every person completes a routine colon cancer screening test, which can stop the disease before it starts. Talk with your PHC provider about which colorectal cancer screening test is best for you.
Screening Options
Colonoscopies are the most reliable way to prevent and detect colon cancer.
During a Colonoscopy, the Gastroenterologist is able to remove colon polyps before they can grow into cancer.
