According to the National Cancer Institute, every year, about 151,030 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Yet, studies have shown that the incidence and mortality of colon cancer have decreased at a rate of 1.7 and 3.2 % per year since early 2000, thanks to screening modalities, including colonoscopies. 💙 We know colonoscopies can be scary, but don’t worry! You got this! Early and on time screening is key to finding colorectal cancer before it spreads. 💙 Brenna Houlihan, MD, FASCRS, shares why colon cancer prevention is so important. When caught early, colorectal cancer is both treatable and beatable. 💙 Learn more at 🔗 https://ow.ly/GT1B50VfHgO . . #coloncancer #colorectalcancer #colonoscopy #getscreened #colorectalcancerawareness #wakemed #wakecounty
