Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer. According to the CDC, 68% of colorectal cancer deaths could be prevented with increased screening.
As part of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, on March 21, HLRCC hosted a free informational event on colorectal cancer.
Titled “Colorectal Cancer Prevention: What You Can Do NOW,” the event was attended by 25 participants and featured a conversation with local colorectal cancer expert John Zhang, MD, PhD, FACS, FASCRS, on how to reduce your risk.
