MARCH: Colon Cancer Awareness Month!

Colon cancer is the second deadliest form of cancer, striking nearly 150,000 Americans each year and killing 50,000 U.S. citizens annually.

This is one of many reasons Kansas City Cancer Center is observing Colon Cancer Awareness Month — a crucial time to make noise over this silent killer. Please view online information and downloadable sheets below.
