Colon Cancer Screening Facts

Approximately 1 in 20 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer at some point in their lifetime
Colon cancer (if discovered early) is one of the most treatable and preventable cancers
Most colon cancers begin as polyps. If they are discovered and removed early, progression to cancer can be prevented.
People with colon cancer are often asymptomatic until later stages of cancer, which are much more difficult to treat. Regular screening helps detect these pre-cancerous polyps before symptoms show.
