Colorectal Cancer Awareness

As GI professionals, we should do what we can to help increase awareness of CRC. Start planning ways you can get information to your patients and community. You can get free pamphlets from the American Cancer Society and many online sources. You can impact public awareness of Colorectal Cancer. Increased awareness can impact mortality rates of CRC. Together we can make a difference. Please plan to make CRC awareness a priority.

Colorectal Cancer awareness doesn't stop at March 31st. Access the following websites to get more information to share with your patients and community.
