Description

Presented by Larry Johnston, DO, Gastroenterology, McFarland Clinic.

Colorectal cancer is the second most common cancer and third leading cause of cancer related death in men and women in all demographics. The risk of colorectal cancer can be mitigated through regular screening, as recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force. A crucial aspect of this screening process involves assessing individuals' risk factors and promptly detecting and removing pre-cancerous lesions. In this presentation, we will discuss the available colorectal cancer screening tests and provide updates for 2025.
