UPMC Expert: Your Colon Matters More Than You Think
UPMC Gastroenterology
When most people think about their health, their colon is not usually top of mind. However, colon health plays a major role in digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to talk about why taking care of your colon is so important and how a few proactive steps can make a meaningful difference.
Understanding Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer affects the colon or rectum and is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States. The encouraging news is that it is also one of the most preventable when caught early. Many colorectal cancers begin as small growths called polyps. These polyps are often harmless at first, but some can develop into cancer over time. Effective screening is the only way to find and remove these polyps before they ever become a serious problem.
