Colon Cancer
Nine out of 10 or 90% of colon cancers can be prevented or cured with regular screening.
Still 50,000 Americans will die of the disease this year.
Why?
Because less than half of people 50 plus, those most susceptible to colon cancer, will get screened.
Unfortunately, this pattern is not limited to colon cancer, as screenings for many cancers are under utilized, despite their effectiveness.
With new technologies, cancer screenings are more affordable, less invasive, and more accurate than ever before. Most importantly, they save lives.
Screening tests find cancers before they produce symptoms and when the cancer can be cured.
