Colorectal
Cancer Control Program
The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with age.
93% of cases are diagnosed in people over 50 years of age. Colorectal cancer develops often with few or no symptoms at first. Therefore, screening is the best way to find pre-cancerous growths, called polyps, so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Getting screened is the key to fighting colorectal cancer in early stages. Both men and women are at risk. In addition, regardless of age, anyone experiencing signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer should be screened. Signs and Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer
