The Importance of Colorectal Cancer Screening
Colorectal cancer is a serious health concern, affecting one in 24 people during their lifetime. It is the second most common cause of cancer deaths for both men and women, but the good news is that it is also one of the most preventable diseases.
Recently, the FDA approved a new test that can be taken at the doctor’s office, providing a less invasive option for cancer screening. This test offers a convenient way for individuals to stay on top of their health and potentially catch colorectal cancer in its early stages.
Dr. Jessica Treviño Jones, founder and director of the Cancer Risk Reduction and Education Clinic at UT Health San Antonio MD Anderson Cancer Center, recently discussed the importance of colorectal cancer screening in an interview on GMSA. She emphasized the impact that early detection can have on treatment outcomes and overall prognosis.
