TIP OF
THE WEEK
-
Did you know that colon cancer is 90% curable when
detected early? This is why
routine colorectal cancer screening
is so important for everyone age 50 and older and
for individuals with conditions that might put them
at higher risk (like inflammatory bowel disease).
The myth that colonoscopies are painful, major
medical procedures is not true – don’t be afraid to
get a minimally invasive procedure that can prove to
be life saving!
