Description

Colon cancer usually strikes without symptoms. That’s why it is important to get a colon cancer screening test, such as a colonoscopy. Learn about the risk factors for colon cancer, when to start screening, what tests are available and which one is right for you. Screening will be offered at no charge to eligible participants. Colonoscopies are provided with support from The Louis and Rachel Rudin Foundation, Inc.
