Trusted Advisors: Best Chances for Colorectal Cancer Cures
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month and serves as a reminder for screening, prevention and early detection of colorectal cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The death rate from colorectal cancer (CRC) has been decreasing for many years, with increased and more effective screening methods being one of the leading catalysts behind the decline. Early detection also allows for improved treatment regimens, making it easier to eliminate the cancer at its earliest stages.

Trusted Advisors: March is Colorectal Cancer awareness month.
March is colorectal cancer awareness month which allows us to reflect on the advances in prevention and treatment of colorectal cancer. Colon cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States and the second most common cause of cancer related deaths. Approximately 6% of the population will eventually develop colorectal cancer. The overall mortality continues to decrease because of our advanced treatments, yet the overall incidence has remained stable since the 1990s.
