For many, the death of a popular young actor last year from colon cancer was a wake-up call. It means that even those under age 50 can be at risk for this serious disease.

PeaceHealth experts—Anil Kabrawala, MD and Nina Dhami, MD—shared in a webinar recently some helpful insights and practical advice for anyone—of any age—interested in identifying and preventing a disease that’s often curable when caught early.

The session included:

• Risk factors for colorectal cancer.
• Signs and symptoms to note.
• Types of screenings.
• Habits to promote good colon health.
• Time for Q&A.
