March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, starts in the colon or rectum, which are parts of your large intestine. It often develops from precancerous growths called polyps that form on the inner lining. While early stages may not cause any symptoms, changes in bowel habits like persistent blood in stool, abdominal pain, or unexplained weight loss can be signs to watch for. Fortunately, regular screenings like colonoscopies can detect polyps before they become cancerous, and with early detection, treatment success rates are high.
If you have concerns about your risk factors or are experiencing potential symptoms, it’s crucial to speak with your healthcare provider. Call today to schedule an appointment 509.935.6004
