What you don’t know about colorectal cancer could matter most.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting both men and women. What many people don’t realize is that it often develops without symptoms, especially in its early stages. Your personal risk depends on factors like:

  • Age (risk increases after 45)
  • Family history of colorectal cancer or polyps
  • Those with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohns or Ulcerative Colitis
  • Lifestyle factors such as diet, activity level, smoking, and alcohol use

Rates of colorectal cancer are rising, even among younger adults. Understanding your risk is the first step toward prevention. This March, take a moment to learn the facts, and decide if it’s time to talk with a healthcare provider about your risk.
