Don’t gamble with your health. Get informed about colorectal cancer.
Many colorectal cancers can be prevented with early detection and removal of precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) through colonoscopy. American Cancer Society recommends both men and women begin testing for colorectal cancer at age 50, or younger if there’s a family history. In fact, when diagnosed early, colorectal cancer can be treated with a five-year relative survival rate of 90 percent.*
- Bring a loved one to a seminar and get a free take-home colorectal cancer screening kit.
- Attend a live online webinar or live tweet
- Don’t put off a colonoscopy. Find a gastroenterologist affiliated with Memorial Hermann.
- Watch a video Q & A.
