About colon cancer
Also called colorectal cancer, this is one of the most common forms of cancer. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. But no one likes to talk about it. Understanding the disease is important not only for those who have been diagnosed with the disease, but individuals trying to prevent it as well.
Only lung cancer kills more Americans each year than colon cancer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. With early detection and regular screenings, colon cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable. Empower yourself by increasing your understanding of this largely preventable disease with information and resources from the Colon Cancer Coalition.
