Colorectal cancer is highly preventable illness and one of the most curable forms of cancer - if detected early - and if not, it can be just as devastating as any other cancer. That’s why it is important to screen early and regularly, especially of you are over 50, have a family history of colorectal cancer or polyps, or have a personal history of inflammatory bowel disease. Of course, it is also important to screen even if you do not fit any of the risk factors. In a bid to help you care for your health and fight cancer, Gwinnett Medical Center offers free colorectal cancer screening kits.
