March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and the Office of Minority Health Resource Center has put together information packets to distribute.
Colorectal cancer is a disease in which cancer cells are found in the tissues of the colon.
If colorectal cancer is not detected at an early stage the cancer can spread to other parts of the body and can ultimately become fatal. People at high risk for colorectal cancer need to receive regular colorectal cancer screenings beginning at age 50.
