Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the United States and the second leading cause of death from cancer. Colorectal cancer is most often found in people age 50 and older.

What can you do? GET SCREENED! Regular screening starting at age 50 can prevent deaths from colorectal cancer.

Between the ages 50-75? Talk to your provider about risk factors and screening for colorectal cancer. Still have questions?
