Colorectal cancer is often a silent disease—many people experience no symptoms until it’s advanced. That’s why screening is critical. Regular screenings can help prevent colorectal cancer or detect it early when treatment is most effective.

✅ Most people should begin screening at age 45. Don’t wait—talk to your doctor about your screening options today!
