What to Know About Colon Cancer Following Chadwick Boseman’s Tragic Death
THURSDAY, September 3 (People)—While colon cancer is currently the second most common cancer death among men and women in the United States, experts emphasize that death can be prevented with early detection.
“Colon cancer is one of the most curable cancers if we find it early,” says Dr. Mark Pochapin, president of the American College of Gastroenterology and Gastroenterology Division Director at NYU Langone Health. “It’s one of the few cancers that we actually can prevent. Colon cancer is not a death sentence.”
