March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cancer in both men and women in the United States. We are making progress in fighting CRC; however, it remains the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in America when both sexes are combined. It is expected to cause about 50,000 deaths in 2016. Since early 2000's when the colonoscopy became the main tool in CRC screening, the death and incidence rates from the disease have dropped by almost 30% in both men and women. These are great strides that can be attributed not only to prevention and early detection through screening colonoscopy, but also with increasingly effective available treatments.
