Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in the United States, after lung cancer, yet many Americans are not getting screened for the disease. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has release new recommendations for adults ages 50 to 75.
One of the most common cancers in the United States, colorectal cancer most often occurs in men and women over age 50 or in those with a family history. Thanks to new screening methods and treatment advances, the ways to detect and fight colorectal cancer are better than ever.
