COLORECTAL CANCER IS THE 2nd LEADING CAUSE OF CANCER DEATHS IN OUR COUNTY.
Roughly150,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed each year.
ANYONE of ANY AGE can be affected
BOTH MEN and WOMEN get colorectal cancer!
About HALF of diagnoses are made in people UNDER the age of 66.
Colorectal Cancer is on the rise in YOUNGER POPULATIONS
NEW GUIDELINES from the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) state that ALL PEOPLE be screened for colorectal cancer with a colonoscopy beginning at the age of 45 or sooner if you have a family history of colorectal cancer, other cancers, certain conditions, or symptoms.
EARLY DETECTION COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE
