March Observances
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
March observances have been placed on our website. We will feature a few of them in our e-newsletter this month. Featured this week: National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
Colorectal cancer is cancer of the colon or rectum. It is equally common in men and women. An estimated 146,970 people will be diagnosed in 2009, and an estimated 49,920 people will die from the disease. With recommended screening, this cancer can be prevented (by removing polyps before they become cancerous) or detected early, when it can be more easily and successfully treated.
Please visit http://www.preventcancer.org/education3c.aspx?id=1036 to find out more.
