March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

Join us in enhancing awareness

Colorectal cancer stands as one of the most lethal cancers in the United States. Each March, National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month sheds light on this disease, urging individuals to undergo screening from the age of 45. The majority of colorectal cancers originate as polyps. Detecting, measuring, pinpointing, and eliminating polyps through screening colonoscopy proves to be the most efficient approach in preventing colorectal cancer.
