Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Many women are surprised to learn that colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers with appropriate screening. As your OBGYN, we care for your health beyond reproductive care. Preventative screenings- including colon cancer screening starting at age 45 - are an important part of staying healthy.
The American Cancer Society reports that screening can detect changes early, often before cancer develops.
If you are due - or unsure if you are due for screening, we encourage you to speak with your primary care provider or to us to get a referral. Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do for your health and for those who love you.
