DRESS IN BLUE DAY EVENT TO HELP CREATE A FUTURE FREE OF COLON CANCER
More than 142,000 Americans Diagnosed with Colon Cancer Each Year
On Friday, March 2, St. Joseph Hospital will host a Dress in Blue Day event to help bring greater awareness to colon cancer, the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The event coincides with the Colon Cancer Alliance's (CCA) National Dress in Blue Day activities to help commemorate March as National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., but if detected early, it is highly treatable. Screening can also drastically reduce one's risk of developing this disease because, during a colonoscopy, colon polyps can be found removed before they have a chance to develop into cancer.
"The Colon Cancer Alliance is working toward a future free of colon cancer," said Cindy Arcieri, APRN, MS, OCN, Director of Oncology Services. "By hosting a local Dress in Blue Day event, we are doing our part to help bring greater awareness to this disease and the importance a screening can play in saving lives."
Screening for colorectal cancer works in two ways: first, by finding cancers early when treatment is most effective; second, by finding growths (polyps) inside the colon and removing them before they become cancer.
Dress in Blue Day is held on the first Friday in March in communities and offices throughout the nation. Americans dress in blue, the nationwide awareness color for colon cancer, to show their support in the fight against this disease and to get people talking about the importance of colon cancer screening.
