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 #2 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 over 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 2009 Johns Hopkins Colon Cancer White Paper can help you beat this life-stealing disease.
This 74-page report is filled with the cutting-edge research and advice you need to help prevent and defeat this highly curable cancer.
