Patient and Family Events
Free and Open to the Public.
Colorectal cancer rates have been decreasing for the past ten years. The decline has been attributed to increases in the use of colorectal cancer screening tests that allow the detection and removal of colorectal polyps before they progress to cancer.
In some families, there is a gene responsible for a specific hereditary condition that predisposes to colon and other cancers. It is critical to identify such families, sometimes with the assistance of genetic testing. Tailored screening guidelines and cancer risk management strategies for colon and other cancers can be lifesaving.
