🍀This St. Patrick’s Day, remember that when it comes to preventing colon cancer, luck shouldn’t be part of the plan. Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths in people under 50, but it's also one of the most preventable cancers when caught early.

If you’re 45 or older, it’s time to begin regular colon cancer screening. While several screening options are available, colonoscopy is considered the gold standard.🪙

During a colonoscopy, your doctor can both DETECT cancer and PREVENT cancer by removing precancerous polyps.

So let a colonoscopy be your lucky charm. Talk to your doctor about getting checked. It could save your life.✅
