 Regular screenings key in fight against colorectal cancer
Did you know that screening is the No. 1 way to prevent colorectal cancer? Screenings can often help detect cancer early when it's small, hasn't spread and may be easier to treat.
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Men and women ages 45-75 should be screened for colorectal cancer regularly. Those older than 75 should ask their doctor if they should be screened and how often.
Coastal Health & Wellness offers an easy at-home screening to eligible patients that tests for hidden blood in the stool, a symptom of colorectal cancer. Patients may take the test home to complete and then bring back the sample to the clinic for testing. Depending on results, patients may be referred for a colonoscopy.
