Could you be at risk for colon cancer?

Colon cancer is the 3rd most common cancer and the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the US.

Colon cancer develops from polyps (small growths in the colon). The removal of polyps can prevent colon cancer.

Colonoscopy (a tube with a camera that examines your colon while you are sedated) is the best screening test to help prevent you from developing colon cancer.
