June is Men’s Health Month and it's a great opportunity to talk to our fathers, sons, uncles, and all the other men in our lives about their health and the particular health issues they face as men. Among those issues is colorectal cancer, which is almost a third more common in men than women, and 44% more likely to be fatal. That’s why the CDC recommends screenings for colorectal cancer for most men beginning at age 45. Want to show you care about the men in your life this month? Encourage them to talk to their healthcare provider about what cancer screenings may be appropriate for them.
