most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about
— much less talking about — our colons.
And the words "colon-cancer screening"?
Uh, let's change the subject, right?
Actually no, because those three words can save your life,
or the life of someone you love. • Colon cancer is preventable. • Colon-cancer screening saves lives — if all colon-cancer cases were detected at their earliest stages, five-year overall survival rates would jump from 65 percent to 90 percent. • Colon-cancer screening is cost-effective and safe. Legislation in Washington state ensures that colon-cancer screening is covered by insurance. Community leaders speak out » |
