Colonoscopies
Although it is preventable, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in the United States. It is important to schedule a colonoscopy, and evaluate diet and exercise habits in order to reduce colorectal cancer risk.
Individuals with colorectal polyps or cancer may have no symptoms at all, especially at first. It is important to get screened, pay attention to your body, and be on the lookout for anything that is not normal.
