Early Detection Better Protection – Colorectal Cancer Screening in the Workplace: A Panel Discussion
Why is it important to screen for colorectal cancer?
– 1 in 5 adults with colorectal cancer are diagnosed under age 55
– Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in young adults and the
top 4 leading cause of death in all cancer patients.
– When colon cancer is found and treated early, the survival rate is about 90%. That rate
decreases to 13% for late-stage detection.
– A workplace colorectal screening program can fill gaps in care for those with healthcare access
issues.
