Colon Cancer Information

What is Colorectal Cancer?
Colorectal cancer is cancer that occurs in the colon or rectum. The colon is the large intestine or large bowel. The rectum is the passageway connecting the colon to the anus.

The Second Leading Cancer Killer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the U.S. But if everyone 50 or older had regular screening tests, at least one third of deaths from this cancer could be avoided.

Who Gets Colorectal Cancer?
Colorectal cancer occurs most often in people age 50 and older. The risk increases with age. Both men and women can get colorectal cancer.

Are You at High Risk?
Your risk for colorectal cancer may be higher  than average if you or a close relative have had colorectal polyps or cancer or if you have inflammatory bowel disease. Speak with your doctor about having earlier or more frequent tests if you think you're at high risk for colorectal cancer.

Screening Saves Lives  
If you're 50 or older. getting a screening test for colorectal cancer could save your life. Here's how:

• Colorectal cancer usually starts from polyps in the rectum. A polyp is a growth that shouldn't be there.
• Over time, some polyps can turn into cancer.
• Screening tests can find polyps, so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.
• Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when the chance of being cured is good.

Insurance Coverage
Many insurance plans and Medicare help pay for colorectal cancer screening. Check with your plan to find out which tests are covered for you.

The Bottom Line
If you're 50 or older, talk with your doctor about getting screened.
