Routine screening can find precancerous polyps—abnormal growths in the colon or rectum—so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer.
Screening is crucial because when found early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable. Consult our decision guide to determine if you should have a colorectal screening and to learn more about your colon cancer screening options.
