Colon Cancer

Colon cancer has a 90 to 95 percent cure rate when caught early, and there’s the catch. Many people have no symptoms until the cancer is advanced—and that’s what makes it so deadly. Colon cancer is known as the “silent killer.” Although a family history of colon cancer increases the risk of colon cancer, it’s estimated that 75 percent of colon cancers occur in people who are 50 or older who have no family history. The good news is that we know a lot about preventing colon cancer, and there is an easy and inexpensive home test that can help you catch colon cancer in its early stages.
