    MARCH is Colon Cancer Awareness – Get Screened!

    By Melanie Latiolais | Digest This | Comments are Closed | 12 February, 2014 | 0

    According to The U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Colorectal Cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in the U.S. However, if everyone aged 50 years or older had regular screenings tests, at least 60% of deaths from this cancer could be avoided. So if you are 50 years or older, start getting screened now. If you have certain symptoms or a family history of colorectal cancer, you should be screened even before age 50.  Call our office today to schedule your appointment, or request an appointment on our webpage.
