Colorectal Cancer Prevention and Screening You have the power to
stop colorectal cancer before it starts. Are you 50 to 75 years
of age? Have you had a personal or family history of colorectal
cancer? If you can answer yes to either of those questions, then
you need to be screened for colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer
is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
Many of these deaths could have been prevented if the cancer had
been found in the early stages. Learn more about colorectal
cancer and your screening options at UW Health.
