You aren’t invincible. Colorectal cancer is affecting men at younger ages than ever before, making awareness and early detection more important than ever. Health experts now recommend that most adults begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45, with some individuals needing screening even earlier based on risk factors. Screening can detect precancerous growths before they become cancer and significantly improve outcomes when cancer is found early.
This Men’s Health Month, take charge of your health. Know the signs, talk to your doctor about screening, and stay in the game. Your future self—and your loved ones—will thank you.
