April is Prevention and Early Detection Month! Do you know that colorectal cancer ranks as the third most common cancer in both men and women in the United States? Starting screenings at age 45, especially if you're at average risk and symptom-free is crucial. A colonoscopy is the preferred method, capable of detecting polyps—abnormal tissue growths that could lead to cancer. Don't wait! Speak to your doctor about your risk and schedule your screening today! #CSCDE #cancersupport #cancerawareness #mentalhealthawareness #cancersurvivor #cancercommunity #supportforcancer
