- Colorectal cancer is the third most diagnosed cancer in the US and the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in the US (when men and women are combined).
- Colorectal Cancer’s Lifetime risk is 1 in 21 (men) and 1 in 23 (women).
- 1 in 20 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer
- 1 in 3 people are not up to date with colorectal cancer screening
- In 2022, approximately 151,030 individuals will be diagnosed with CRC and 52,80 will die from the disease
- The American Cancer Society has lowered the recommended age to begin screening to age 45 as colorectal cancer cases are on the rise for younger and middle-aged people.
Colorectal Cancer is highly preventable, detectable, and beatable
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men and women in the US. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly preventable, detectable, and beatable. Regular screening of detectable cancers offers an amazing opportunity to enhance the health outcomes of the public, yet we know that screening rates for many medically underserved groups are lower than national goals.
