Colore**al cancer is the 3rd most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the U.S. — and the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths. In fact, it is the leading cause of cancer death in younger adults. That is likely because in adults under 50, 75% of these cancers are diagnosed at advanced stages.
But here’s what’s powerful:
👉 It’s one of the most preventable cancers.�👉 It’s one of the most treatable when caught early.
The American Cancer Society now recommends starting screening at age 45, but earlier if you have family history or risk factors.
The problem is that more than one-third of adults 45+ aren’t up to date on screenings.�So if early detection can prevent cancer or catch it at a stage where treatment is far more effective, why aren’t we all doing it?
So many people dread colonoscopies, but now screening can be done with stool or blood tests which can diagnose over 90% of all colon cancers. What is the best test for you? Really, anyone that gets done. �
At TullyMD, we take a proactive approach to prevention. That means individualized risk assessment, clear screening guidance, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
Prevention is powerful. Early detection saves lives. 💙
