The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) wants you to know that
with screening, early detection and treatment, colon cancer can be highly preventable, treatable and beatable.
MDPH advises that you take action! Speak with your healthcare provider now to
find out which colon cancer screening test is right for you.
During March, Colon Cancer Screening Month, MDPH is sponsoring a statewide,
multi-faceted public awareness campaign to make sure Massachusetts residents know that:
•Screening for colon cancer screening now is the key to prevention and wellness
•Everyone 50 or older- men and women-should be screened
•Screening can find cancer before there are symptoms-that’s why early screening is so important
•You should talk to your health care provider now about scheduling a colon cancer screening
•Most health insurance plans cover colon cancer screening procedures including Medicare and Medicaid.
