ROCK COUNTY CLINIC MARCH GIVEAWAY!
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer and the second deadliest cancer in the U.S. It is highly preventable through early screening and, if caught early, the five-year survival rate is over 90%. While the mortality rate has dropped overall, cases are rising in those under 50, making it the leading cause of cancer death in that age group.
Key risk factors include obesity, unhealthy diet, alcohol consumption, smoking, and a sedentary lifestyle.
Regular screening is recommended starting at age 45 for average-risk individuals, though earlier screening may be necessary for high-risk individuals.
For a chance to win our March giveaway basket, tell us what you can do to decrease your risk.
Drawing will be held tomorrow, 3/31
