Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common cancer in both men and women in the U.S. It's estimated that more than half of all cases could be prevented by regular colonoscopy screening! Colorectal cancer starts in the colon or the rectum, which is part of the digestive system. We do not know the cause of most colorectal cancers. Most likely the cause is related to changes in the DNA in our cells and those changes are related to our lifestyle.
