"Screen My Colon!"^TM
Are you 50 years old or older? Are you at an increased risk for colon cancer? Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death in the U.S. You can significantly reduce your risk by getting a screening test. Tell your doctor to "Screen My Colon!"^TM

Getting regular screenings for colon cancer can catch the disease in its early stages when it is still treatable. Colon cancer, also called colorectal cancer, often does not have symptoms. If you wait to get screened until you're experiencing symptoms, it may be tougher to treat. Screening tests help your doctor find and remove polyps to prevent colorectal cancer before you have symptoms.  Read more about who should be tested and when.

About "Screen My Colon!"^TM Campaign
In 2010, the CCA launched the first of a series of yearly animated healthcare awareness videos to increase the general public's understanding of colon cancer and the need to be screened for the disease. We hope that you share these videos with your friends and help us spread the message that screening saves lives.
