Blessing Health System issued the following announcement on Feb. 20.
According to the American Cancer Society, Colorectal Cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer among men and women in the U.S. Of the 135,000+ Americans estimated to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year, only 39% will be diagnosed with localized stage disease, where survival rates are 90%.
Early detection is crucial. The American Cancer Society recommends regular screenings such as a colonoscopy beginning at age 45. Having the right team close to home makes all the difference.
