Wearing blue in solidarity for Dress in Blue Day. ?? Our team is committed to raising awareness for colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer in both men and women. With early diagnosis, the cure rate for colorectal cancer can be over 90% - which is why getting screened is crucial. The American Cancer Society estimates 107,320 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year. National guidelines suggest screening at age 45. If you have family history, screening is recommended at age 40. Together, let's end colorectal cancer.
