The word "cancer" is scary enough. But what do all those other words that your care team uses in your appointments? Here Dr. Toufic Kachaamy, Chief of Medicine and Director of Gastroenterology at City of Hope, Phoenix, and a member of the Colon Cancer Coalition Medical Advisory Council breaks down some of the cancer terminology and statistics you may hear, and what they mean for you.
In 2004, Kristin Lindquist started planning for the very first Get Your Rear in Gear® run after losing her best friend and sister, Susie Lindquist Mjelde, to colon cancer. What started as one woman’s vision has since grown into a national coalition of people determined to end colorectal cancer deaths by increasing screening and educating others about the signs and symptoms of this treatable disease. Their goal is for everyone to understand their risk factors and get the right screening at the right time.
