In the United States, colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and in women, and the second most common cause of cancer deaths when men and women are combined. Although the rate of people being diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer each year has dropped overall since the mid-1980s, mainly because more people are getting screened and changing their lifestyle-related risk factors, the illness is expected to cause about 52,980 deaths during 2021. The industry encourages that individual’s schedule appropriate and regular screenings, as many colorectal cancers can be prevented through regular screenings, and when found early, colorectal cancer is highly treatable.
