colon cancer awareness month

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is dedicated to increasing understanding about colon cancer, one of the most common and preventable cancers. It emphasizes the importance of regular screenings like colonoscopies, which can detect and remove precancerous growths early. The month aims to educate people on risk factors such as age, diet, and family history, encouraging proactive health management. Raising awareness can lead to earlier diagnosis, more effective treatment options, and ultimately, saving lives through prevention and timely intervention.
