March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month💙
At Gastroenterology Associates, we want to remind our community that the recommended age for colon cancer screening is now **45**.
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when screening is done on time. Many patients have no symptoms in the early stages, which is why routine screening is so important. A colonoscopy can detect and remove precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer.
✔ Now screening starting at age 45
✔ Early detection saves lives
✔ Talk with your provider about the screening option that’s right for you
If you are 45 or older, now is the time to schedule your screening. Taking this step could protect your health for years to come.
📞 Call our office to schedule your colon cancer screening today.
