March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month—and screening saves lives.
Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet many people delay screening.
✔️ Start screening at age 45 (earlier if higher risk)
✔️ Options include colonoscopy or at-home stool tests
✔️ Early detection = highly treatable
If you’ve been putting it off, this is your reminder.
Your health is worth it.
Many patients avoid screening because they feel fine or are unsure where to start—but colorectal cancer often develops silently. A screening test can detect early changes before symptoms ever appear, giving you the best chance at prevention and cure.
