In 2022 alone, it's estimated that over 150,000 people will be diagnosed with colon cancer. Unlike most cancers, colon cancer can be treatable when found early.

We are dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of colon cancer screening because anyone can develop this sometimes-silent cancer. We recommend talking to your doctor about possible risk factors and a screening plan that is right for you.
