Dear Health Alerts Reader:
Colon cancer is the #3 cause of cancer-related death among BOTH men and women in the United States. Yet this cancer is highly treatable if detected early. I would like to introduce you to an invaluable resource in our ongoing war against colon cancer:
Now finally, colon cancer patients and their families have an invaluable new resource.
What will you read in The 2010 Johns Hopkins Colon Cancer White Paper?
You'll discover how colon cancer develops … How it can be detected early … How to reduce your risks … You’ll learn about new developments in screening, diagnosis, research…
You'll find the latest treatment options, and if you already have been treated for colon cancer, ways to lower your risk of a recurrence.
The Johns Hopkins White Papers redefine the term "informed consumer." In The 2010 Johns Hopkins Colon Cancer White Paper, specialists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report in-depth on the latest colon cancer screening tests, effective colon cancer prevention strategies, and the latest cutting-edge treatments.

The numbers are alarming: The American Cancer Society ranks colorectal cancer—a term that includes cancers of both the colon and the rectum—as the #3 cause of cancer overall in the United States (and the #3 leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women).
Yet it is one of the most preventable cancers, thanks to what we now know about effective colon cancer prevention. It is also one of the most curable of all cancers if you detect it and treat in its early stages.
The five-year survival rate for colon cancer when it is discovered and treated in the early stages is 90%. In addition, early screening may reveal pre-cancerous growths (polyps) that can be removed easily, preventing you from developing colon cancer in the first place, even if you have a family history of colon cancer.
The key to preventing and treating colon cancer is current, accurate, reliable knowledge. That's where The 2010 Johns Hopkins Colon Cancer White Paper can help you beat this life-stealing disease.
This 69-page report is filled with the cutting-edge research and advice you need to help prevent and defeat this highly curable cancer.
