Colon and Colorectal Cancer Awareness
Mar 1 - 31, 2025
March is Colon and Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
“Colon Cancer is Preventable”
Although colon cancer is the second leading cause of death in America, according to the CDC, it is also preventable, if detected early. However, 1 in 3 adults who should be screened (ages 50 – 75) are not doing so. While there are several tests available for colon cancer screening, you can start by calling your PHC provider about screening today at 504.309.3262 (Marrero) or 504.509.4800 (Gretna).
