SCREENING AND
PREVENTION
Keeping up to date with colorectal cancer screening is an important part of prevention. A screening test checks for colorectal cancer when there are no signs and symptoms of the disease. Participating in screening helps to remove precancerous polyps and detect colorectal cancer at an earlier stage when it is more treatable.
