SCREENING SAVES LIVES - SIHF Healthcare

Schedule your colonoscopy today.

Let’s talk about colon cancer.

Colon cancer is a type of cancer that affects the colon or rectum when a polyp, an abnormal growth, is present. Doctors perform routine screenings to check for polyps. These screenings are crucial so that polyps can be found and treated before turning into cancer.

Possible Symptoms of Colon Cancer Include:

Bowel habit changes

Blood in stool or bowel movement

Diarrhea

Constipation

Abdominal pain or cramping

Unexplained weight loss

DID YOU KNOW?

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most
common cancer in men and women (CDC).

Between 60 and 90% of colon cancer deaths
could be prevented if people over 50 received
routine colonoscopy screenings.

40% of at-risk Americans
are not getting screened.

Don’t wait until you experience the symptoms of colon cancer to be screened.

Be proactive and plan your screening. Talk to your SIHF Healthcare provider for more information.
