Screen This Too!

Did you know that colon cancer is one of the few cancers you can stop before it starts?

Colon cancer screening tests save lives – just like breast exams and mammograms. So we’re asking you to not only remember breast health in October and throughout the whole year, but consider your colon, too.

Why Blue?

Similar to breast cancer’s pink ribbon, the nationally recognized blue star represents the eternal memory of those whose lives have been lost to the disease and the shining hope for a future free of colon cancer.

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. However, when detected early, it’s also quite treatable. A screening test can even detect polyps, and stop the cancer before it starts. As a disease with few obvious symptoms, these life-saving screening tests are exceedingly important.

Colon Cancer Screening: The Facts

Everyone should be screened for colon cancer beginning at age 50. But, if you have a family history of colon cancer, you and your close family members should begin getting regular colon screenings earlier. Take note of other risk factors that may pertain to you, too. Other diseases, such as breast cancer and diabetes, can put you at a higher risk for colon cancer. So when you talk to your doctor about your breast health, make sure you say, “Screen this too!”
