Doctors say colon cancer starts when cells begin to reproduce and divide uncontrollably, forming into clumps. Removing precancerous polyps before they turn cancerous actually prevents colorectal cancer from ever developing. When colon cancer is diagnosed early, it has almost a 90 percent chance for cure. For example, many studies have shown that aspirin and similar pain relievers might help lower the risk of colorectal cancer, but these drugs can sometimes have serious side effects. "Despite the benefits of screening, many people who should be screened for colorectal cancer never get any of the screening tests that could find precancerous growths or that could detect colorectal cancer in its early stages, when treatment would be most effective". The event will offer free in-home colorectal cancer screening kits, lung cancer risk assessments, education on cancer risk factors and affordable blood testing. Be sure to encourage friends and loved ones not to put off this important test. It could be a life-saver.
