Get Screened

Colon cancer is a highly treatable and even preventable form of cancer. Unfortunately, when not caught early, it is also very deadly. Important colon cancer facts: Your estimated lifetime risk of developing colon cancer is 1 in 15. A 50-year-old has about a 1 in 4 chance of having a precancerous polyp. A 30-minute colonoscopy could save your life. Screening for colon cancer should begin by age 50. African Americans should start by age 45. Those with a family history of colon cancer should also start earlier.
