Why Get Screened?
Most people are not aware of this but everyday in British Columbia three people die of colorectal cancer. That makes it the second leading cause of cancer death in the province.
Screening can save lives by detecting non-cancerous polyps and cancer early. A polyp can be removed before it turns into cancer. Colorectal cancer is easier to treat when found at an early stage.
But I Feel Fine!
Actually, Colon Check is for women and men with
no symptoms of colorectal cancer.
You can have colorectal cancer and not even know it. In its early stages, there may be no symptoms. That’s why screening is so important. If colorectal cancer is detected at its earliest stage the chance of survival is over 90%.
