March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month. Dr. Okonkwo with Dignity Health discusses the importance of colon screenings and how early detection can save lives. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States in men and women combined – but it doesn’t have to be. If you are 45 or older, talk to your doctor about a colonoscopy screening. To schedule your screening, call 480.728.7135 or visit dignityhealth.org/azcolon.
