The third most common form of cancer in men and women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths, colorectal cancer begins either in the colon or rectum. While colorectal cancer is extremely common, it is also preventable and curable, if detected early through regular screenings.

The death rate for colon cancer has dropped significantly over the last years. This is due in large part to increased awareness and widespread use of colonoscopy screenings.
