Colorectal Cancer Screening Program

The Colorectal Cancer Screening Program aims to detect early signs of colon or rectal cancer, which can develop gradually and often without symptoms. It typically involves tests like stool tests or colonoscopy to identify abnormal growths or cancer cells before symptoms appear. Early detection improves treatment success and survival rates. The program recommends regular screening for individuals aged 50 to 75, or earlier for those with risk factors, helping catch issues early when they are most treatable. Overall, it’s a proactive approach to maintain gastrointestinal health and prevent advanced cancer.
