March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about one of the most preventable yet deadly cancers. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., but early detection through screening can significantly improve survival rates. Getting screened when you’re eligible is one of the most impactful actions you can take for your long-term health—and we’re here to help make that process simple.
Why Screening Matters
Colorectal cancer often develops without symptoms in its early stages, making regular screening essential for early detection and treatment. When caught early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable, with a five-year survival rate of over 90%.
Screening can help:
Detect precancerous polyps before they develop into cancer
Identify cancer at an early, more treatable stage
Reduce your overall risk of developing colorectal cancer
