The month of march marks the annual awareness campaign dedicated to education and screening for colorectal cancer.
Colorectal cancer is currently the second deadliest cancer. Yet when detected at an early stage, it can be cured in 9 out of 10 cases. This highlights an essential reality: screening saves lives.
Why is screening so important?
screened is crucial, even when no warning signs are present. A simple test can enable early detection and prevent the onset of more advanced forms of the disease.
Choosing to get screened means taking care of your health and giving yourself the best chance of protection.
