There’s no excuse to avoid a colon screening
This is not the time to put off your colon screening. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and we want to reinforce the importance of colon screenings in detecting colon cancer early. Colon cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, yet also one of the most treatable.
In fact, 90% of stage 1 (early) colon cancers are usually treatable with a 90% success rate (based on 5-year survival). Even with this success rate, colon cancer remains one of the deadliest forms of cancer in America.
