Colon Cancer
Colorectal cancer causes more cancer deaths among nonsmokers than any other form of cancer. It is estimated that over 5% of New Yorkers age 50 and over have precancerous adenomatous colon polyps and have not had colon cancer screening. Without early detection and treatment, an estimated 13,000 to 19,000 of these New Yorkers will develop colorectal cancer in the next 20 years.
