March Toward a Healthier Future: Get Screened for Colorectal Cancer Today

Understanding Colorectal Cancer Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women in the United States.

CRC refers to cancer that begins in the colon or rectum. It often starts as small, benign growths known as polyps, which can develop into cancer over time.

This is why using screening methods that detect precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer is so critical. When CRC is detected early, there is about a 90% 5-year survival rate.

Focus on the Facts

• CRC affects all races, genders, and ethnicities

• About 75% of people have no family history of colorectal cancer

• CRC is on the rise in adults under

In addition to colonoscopies, there are also non-invasive screening options, like the Cologuard® test. The Cologuard test is an use at home screening test that can be delivered and picked up from your door to allow you to screen for CRC in a comfortable environment. The Cologuard test is a reliable option for those at average risk, and effectively detects CRC and precancer as the best-in-class noninvasive option.

The American Cancer Society recommends that adults aged 45 and older get regular colorectal cancer screenings.

If you have a family history of colorectal cancer or other risk factors, talk to your healthcare provider about whether the Cologuard test is right for you. Join Us in the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer This March, join Sunstone Care PDX in raising awareness about colorectal cancer.
