Today our 4th e-book in the Adult Guide: Health Screening and Prevention line went live: Colon Cancer Screening and Prevention! This pamphlet focuses on medical screening for Colon Cancer, the second-leading cause of Cancer Death in the United States. It’s designed to help you understand the risk factors for Colon Cancer, learn to identify potential symptoms, and  learn how screening methods such as colonoscopies can help identify potential or early-stage cancers before they become fatal, allowing for safe and effective treatment.

Most people are not very well-educated on colon cancer, despite it being relatively common and extremely deadly if left untreated. We rarely talk about colonoscopies in our society, and when we do, they’re often used as punchlines. But they’re something everyone needs to understand – because they may be the only thing standing between you and a preventable death.

This book is streamlined to focus on screening and prevention while also providing information on how to talk to your doctor about your options as a patient. Advanced medical screening for colon cancer is well established, but your doctor may not have discussed the option with you in the past – so it’s important to understand your rights and timetables for getting your screening done.

We’ll be releasing these “mini-e-books” for each of the major chapters covered in the big e-book, and we’ll continue to update you here each time a new release goes live. Until then, we hope you find this guidebook to be useful in your own fight against colon cancer!
