Did You Know About This Colon Cancer Fact?
Colon cancer is the nation’s second deadliest cancer for men and women combined.
But if detected early, it’s also one of the easiest cancers to treat—and beat.
Colonoscopy: Colon Cancer Screening
A colonoscopy provides a clear and accurate look at the colon to detect cancer in its earliest stages when it’s easiest to treat. Regular screenings should start at age 50 for those at average risk. If you have a family history of the disease or other health risks, talk to your provider; he or she may want you to start screenings sooner.
