Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable of cancers and yet is still the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. in both men and women. For the past decade, we at Colon Screening for Life have worked to increase that number by continuing to educate people on the importance of early detection and the prevention of colon cancer by regular screenings and a healthy lifestyle with events like the Colon Screening for Life 5K Run/Walk.
