Colon Cancer Awareness

The National Cancer Institute defines Colon Cancer as cancer that forms in the longest part of the large intestine, also known as the colon. Rectal Cancer is defined as cancer that forms in the rectum, or the last several inches of the large intestine that is closest to the anus. Together, they are referred to as Colorectal Cancer. Often times, these two forms of cancer are coupled together.

According to the American Cancer Society, Colorectal Cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer in the USA and over 100,000 cases of Colon Cancer are diagnosed each year. The risk to men is 1 in 19 and women is 1 in 20. Over the past 15 years, the death rate for Colorectal Cancer has gone down due to increased awareness for screenings like colonoscopies and the removal of polyps before they become cancerous.
