Colorectal cancer sounds scary, but in reality, it’s 90% preventable with proper screening. Fight CRC's Director of Philanthropy, Michell Baker, discussed how we can raise awareness and banish the stigma that stops many people from getting screened.

Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) advocates for policy change on colorectal cancer screening, while carrying out research into a cure and offering a range of support to patients living with cancer. Michell explained that ensuring everyone has access to screening is absolutely vital if we are to beat colorectal cancer. And that colorectal cancer screening should start at 45 or earlier for those who are experiencing symptoms or have a family history. Colon and rectal cancer can be prevented with screening. Screening can also detect colorectal cancer early - when it's most curable.
