Don't Wait, Screen for Colorectal Cancer Today!" Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment. Colorectal cancer screening can detect precancerous growths, or polyps, before they turn into cancer, and can also detect cancer in its early stages when it's easier to treat. Who should get screened? - Individuals with symptoms such as rectal bleeding, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss - Adults aged 50 and older, or earlier if you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors - People who have had inflammatory bowel disease, like ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease How to Screen: - Colonoscopy: A doctor uses a long, flexible tube with a camera to examine the entire colon and rectum. - Fecal occult blood: A simple, non-invasive test that checks for blood in the stool. Don't let fear or embarrassment prevent you from getting screened. Talk to our healthcare provider. Remember!!! Screening for colorectal cancer could save lives. 18 hours ago Learn more
