There’s no excuse to avoid a colon screening.

Mount Carmel Colon & Rectal Surgery wants to reinforce the importance of colon screenings in detecting colon cancer early. Colon cancer is one of the deadliest cancers, yet also one of the most treatable if found early.

If you’re 45 and older, it’s time to get screened regularly.

We suggest you talk to your healthcare provider about screening options, your risk factors and the age they recommend you begin receiving colon cancer screenings.

You may be at higher risk for colon cancer depending on your family health history or lifestyle choices including:

  • Not being physically active
  • A diet high in red meat and processed meats
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol use
