Gut Check
This site offers easy-to-read information about screening for colorectal cancer, the 2nd leading cause of cancer-related deaths nationwide. Screening may detect growths called polyps that can be removed before they develop into cancer. It can also detect cancer early, when treatment may be most effective. Videos and other resources help you decide which screening test is right for you.
