Colon cancer doesn’t discriminate. It affects all races, genders, and ethnicities.2
And many patients with early-stage colon cancer don’t even have symptoms. That’s why early detection is so important.3
Early Detection is Key

There are an estimated 60 million Americans at average risk who are eligible for screening.5 And yet, when caught in early stages, colon cancer is survivable in 9 out of 10 of people.6
Up to 75% of people diagnosed with colon cancer have no family history7
