Wellness Highlight- March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month
Did you know Alaska Native men and women are twice as likely to get diagnosed with colorectal cancer than non-Natives? The good news is that colorectal cancer can be prevented through early screening and detection. Alaska Native people should get checked for colorectal cancer starting at age 40, or earlier if they have a family history of colorectal cancer. Non-Alaska Native people should start screening at age 45. If you experience any symptoms, such as blood in your stool (feces) or abdominal pain, don’t wait! Other ways to help prevent colon cancer can be found here. Talk to a healthcare provider right away.
