The disease, however, is largely preventable with regular screening and is treatable with early detection.The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy is proud to bring you www.screen4coloncancer.org, a web site dedicated to educating patients about colon cancer and what can be done to prevent it.
If you are over 50 or have a family history of colorectal cancer, talk to your doctor about getting screened today. Screening saves lives.
