Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when caught early— that’s why screening matters.

Dr. Mariam Fayek, AGAF, Women & Infants Hospital, explains symptoms that can occur, though many people may not experience any warning signs in the early stages.

If you're 45 or older, talk with your provider about getting screened.

Thank you to all who attended our Colorectal Cancer Education & Awareness event at Warwick Mall.

From walking through the interactive Strollin’ Colon to sharing important resources on prevention and early detection, it was inspiring to see our community come together to learn and take charge of their health.

Events like this help make cancer colon knowledge accessible to everyone.

Colorectal cancer is more common — and more preventable — than many people realize.

Screening can stop cancer before it starts. Don’t wait to start the conversation. Talk to your provider about when screening is right for you.

Colorectal cancer is being diagnosed in younger adults, and screening now begins at age 45 — not 50.

Dr. Nnenna Okpara and Dr. Mariam Fayek of Women & Infants Hospital share why earlier screening matters. Colonoscopies can detect and remove polyps before they become cancerous.

If you’re 45+, it’s time to schedule your screening.
