A friendly reminder about the importance of colon cancer screening: Colorectal cancer is the MOST PREVENTABLE but LEAST PREVENTED cancer.
We would be happy to help get you up to date with the latest colon cancer screening recommendations. Did you know that the American Cancer Society is recommending that ALL individuals begin screening at age 45? “The prep is the hardest part!” We hear this every day as a reason why someone is hesitant to have a colonoscopy. The dreaded preparation is one of the frustrating barriers that prevents about half of Americans from getting the necessary screening for colon cancer. This is so disheartening because adhering to screening recommendations can reduce your risk of the third most common cause of cancer deaths by 75-90%! We work hard to make the prep process as easy as possible! Call 224.407.4400 to schedule.
