Did You Know?
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases as you get older. That’s why screening is recommended for everyone ages 45 to 75 years.
Other risk factors are:
-
Having certain types of polyps (growths) inside the colon
-
Having a personal or family history of colorectal cancer
-
Smoking cigarettes
-
Being overweight or having obesity
-
Not getting enough physical activity
-
Drinking too much alcohol
-
Having inflammatory bowel disease, like Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or other health conditions that cause chronic (long-term) problems with the small intestine and colon.
