Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it is also one of the most preventable. Regular screenings can detect cancer early—when treatment is most effective—or even prevent it by finding and removing precancerous polyps.

The American Cancer Society recommends that adults at average risk begin screening at age 45. Those with a family history or other risk factors may need to start earlier. Several screening options are available, including colonoscopy and at-home stool tests, allowing patients to choose the method best suited for them.

Colorectal cancer is often symptomless in its early stages, which is why regular screenings are so important. Early detection of cancer can save lives.

Riverside Healthcare offers comprehensive colorectal cancer screening guidance to help you make informed decisions about your health. Talk to your primary care provider to determine the best screening plan for you.

Your health is in your hands—take action today. Schedule your colorectal cancer screening and take a step toward a healthier future.
