Colorectal Cancer Screening: Facts & Options


The Elmwood Hall Danbury Senior Center presents 'Colorectal Cancer: Facts & Options' Colorectal cancer is the 4th most commonly diagnosed cancer and the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in Connecticut. Among Hispanic males, colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer and cancer-related death. Colorectal cancer is more common in Black people than in people of most other races and ethnicities. But the good news? The good news is that a simple, at-home screening or a colonoscopy can save your life. Come hear from Community Health Center, Inc. as they share more about screening options and what factors can put you at higher-risk for colorectal cancer. Many people with early-stage colorectal cancer have no symptoms, but it can still be detected through screening. We hope you’ll join us and take a step in staying healthy! This program is open to all Danbury Senior Center Members age 60+. Registration is required. Membership to The Danbury Senior Center is FREE.
