Colorectal Cancer: Colonoscopy Screening Saves Lives
Colon Cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and women in the U.S. Regular colonoscopy screenings can detect it early, while the cancer is more treatable.
Colon Cancer Symptoms
Colorectal polyps and colorectal cancer don’t always cause symptoms, especially at first. That is why getting screened regularly for colorectal cancer is so important. (Source: CDC.gov)
If you have symptoms, they may include—
• A change in bowel habits
• Blood in or on your stool (bowel movement)
• Diarrhea, constipation, or feeling that the bowel does not empty all the way
• Abdominal pain, aches, or cramps that don’t go away
• Losing weight and you don’t know why
