Colorectal Cancer: The Silent Threat
Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women in the United States. What makes it especially dangerous is that it often develops without symptoms in its early stages.
Warning signs may include:
- Changes in bowel habits
- Rectal bleeding
- Unexplained weight loss
- Persistent abdominal discomfort
By the time symptoms appear, the disease may already be advanced. That’s why early screening is critical.
The Power of Screening
Health guidelines recommend that adults begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45. Those with family history or additional risk factors may need to start earlier.
Screening can:
- Detect cancer early when it’s most treatable
- Identify and remove precancerous polyps
- Reduce overall risk of developing cancer
Spotlight: Cologuard® At-Home Testing
Cologuard® is an FDA-approved, non-invasive stool DNA test that detects abnormal DNA and blood in the stool—potential signs of colorectal cancer or advanced polyps.
Benefits include:
- No bowel prep required
- No dietary restrictions
- No sedation
- Convenient at-home testing
How it works:
- Your provider orders the test
- A kit is delivered to your home
- You collect your sample and mail it back
- Results are sent directly to your provider
Cologuard is recommended every 3 years for average-risk adults aged 45+. Those with higher risk should consult their provider for appropriate screening options.
