Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month-March

What is Colorectal Cancer?
Colorectal Cancer starts in the colon or re**um. It often begins as small growths called polyps, which can turn into cancer over time-but screening can find and remove them early.

Why it Matters
• Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers
• It is highly treatable when found early
• Screening saves lives

Know the Warning Signs
• Blood in stool
• Changes in bowel habits
• Ongoing stomach pains or cramping
• Unexplained weight loss
• Feeling tired or weak
Many people have no symptoms, which is why screening is so important.

Who Should Get Screened?
• Adults 45 years and older
• People with a family history of colorectal cancer
• Anyone with symptoms-no matter the age

Reduce Your Risk
• Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
• Stay active
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Limit alcohol
• Avoid smoking

Take Action Today
• Talk to your healthcare provider
• Schedule your screening that is right for you
• Encourage family and friends to get screened

Early Detection Saves Lives
Screening can prevent colorectal cancer-or catch it early when treatment works best.
Talk to your healthcare provider and schedule your screening today.
