 Colorectal Cancer Screening Saves Lives
If you’re 50 or older, getting a screening test for colorectal cancer could save your life. Here’s how:
-
Colorectal cancer usually starts from polyps in the colon or rectum. A polyp is a growth that shouldn’t be there.
-
Over time, some polyps can turn into cancer.
-
Screening tests can find polyps, so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.
-
Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when the chance of being cured is good
