“Colon Cancer Awareness Month – March
Today we joined a community campaign focused on something incredibly important: prevention and early detection of colon cancer. Colorectal cancer remains one of the most common and preventable cancers, yet many cases are diagnosed late simply because people are unaware of when and how to screen. Screening is recommended starting at age 45 for most adults.
If you have a family history of colon cancer or polyps, screening may need to begin earlier. Colon cancer often develops without symptoms in early stages, which is why screening saves lives.
The good news is that when detected early, colon cancer is highly treatable and often preventable through routine screening and removal of precancerous polyps. Community outreach and education are key. Conversations like these help break stigma and encourage people to take charge of their health. March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month
