Colorectal Cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when detected early and treated. The suggested screening age for colon cancer is now 45 years old and as a result, there have been significantly fewer cases of colon cancer in people 50+, as potentially cancerous polyps can be detected at an earlier stage.

Dr. Saad Haque, Gastroenterology, shares information about the VHC Health Digestive Center and how it provides the most advanced, safest and up-to-date care for you. ➡️ Learn more and book an appointment at www.vhchealth.org/digestive-health.
