Colorectal cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society.  Adults 45 years and older should be screened.

Even if you are asymptomatic, colorectal cancer screenings can detect colorectal
cancer in its early stages, which leads to more effective treatment. If you haven’t been screened yet this year, call your primary care provider and set up an appointment today.

There are several ways to screen for colorectal cancer you can talk to your doctor about, including at-home screening through Cologuard.
