Colorectal Cancer

Do Your Family and Friends a Favor: Encourage Them to Have a Colorectal Screening

The second leading cause of cancer deaths and third most common type of the disease, colorectal cancer is entirely treatable if caught early. So, encourage your family and friends to schedule a colonoscopy when they turn 50 or if they’re beyond 50 and haven’t had a screening. At this age, the chance of colorectal cancer rises. In fact, more than 9 out of 10 people found to have colorectal cancer are older than 50. Besides age, other risk factors exist, including family history and the incidence of colorectal polyps.

Grand View Hospital wants to keep colorectal cancer from coming between you and your loved one.

Middle age can be a great time of life.You’ve finally reached a point where you can pursue your own interests and just spend time with family and friends. Unfortunately, it’s also when colorectal cancer is most likely to strike.

The good news is colorectal cancer is among the most treatable types of cancer, particularly if found in its early stages. At Grand View, our colorectal cancer program offers comprehensive diagnostic services and treatment at a location close to your home. Our program is staffed by highly skilled professionals who will develop a treatment plan especially for you. Whether you need surgery, radiation, chemotherapy or a combination of services, you’ll receive the highest quality care.
