💙 March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month! 💙
There’s a lot of misinformation about colorectal cancer - and some of it keeps people from getting screened. Dr. Graven took a minute to address common misunderstandings.
The truth?
✔ It often develops without symptoms
✔ It affects both men and women
✔ Most people diagnosed have no family history
✔ Screening now begins at age 45
The best screening test is the one that gets done. It starts with a conversation with your primary care provider.
