💙March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, and the Section of Gastroenterology at the Phoenix VA Medical Center is committed to helping Veterans prevent and detect colorectal cancer early.

Colorectal cancer is common, but it is highly preventable and very treatable when found early through regular screening. We recommend starting at age 45—or earlier if you have risk factors or a family history—to talk with your VA provider about getting screened.

Screening tests such as FIT testing and colonoscopy are recommended. This month, we invite you to prioritize your colon health and remind a fellow Veteran to schedule their screening.💙
