Although the deaths and cases of colon cancer have significantly decreased

Throughout the month of March, the American Cancer Society is encouraging all men and women ages 50 and older to begin getting regular screenings for colon cancer. Colon cancer is one of the only forms of cancer that can be prevented with regular screenings. Doctors can check for any abnormalities and remove them before they progress into cancer.
Although the deaths and cases of colon cancer have significantly decreased in the last few decades because of testing and screening, over half of the population age 50 and older still have not been tested.
