Colorectal Cancer Screening
Resource Kit
Keep talking to your patients about colon cancer screening. So you won't have to talk to them about colon cancer. The American Cancer Society offers free materials to help you continue encouraging colorectal cancer screening among your patients 50 and older.

You play the most important role in getting people screened for colorectal cancer. If your patients don't hear about screening from you, they may not think they need it.

Our clear, concise materials can help you explain colorectal cancer tests to patients.

 Educating Your Patients
Get our free patient brochure on colon testing, and other materials. Find sample patient reminder letters, too. Most patients will not get tested unless you tell them to.
 Risk and Screening
Check out this quick review of who needs to be screened and why. Your patients may not know colorectal cancer is preventable. Also browse the latest evidence on new screening methods, best use of FOBT, meat consumption as a risk factor, and more.
