In a news post on January 22, 2026, from Colorectal Cancer Alliance, the American Cancer Society announced that Colorectal Cancer is the #1 cause of cancer-related deaths.
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month, a month-long recognition of ways to improve your colon health, take preventative measures, and raise awareness of the ongoing battle of this cancer.
It is recommended to start screening for Colon Cancer at age 45, but it is never too early. We know that it may not be the easiest to talk about or comfortable to get screened, but our friendly and compassionate providers at ACHC are here for you; schedule an appointment for questions or concerns at 208-253-4242.
