March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

There are many resources online where you can learn more about colorectal cancer. A reputable place to start is the Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation.

Patients: download a fact sheet on Colon Cancer.

Esteemed TSGE member and Past President, Loren C. Owensby, MD, FACP, FACG of Victoria, Texas has prepared an educational tool entitled "Colon Cancer Screening 2009".
