Native America Calling: New ideas for preventing colon cancer
Your National Electronic Talking Circle
Monday, June 21, 2021
The panel that oversees health recommendations for the U.S. is lowering the age that adults should get colon cancer screenings.
In May, the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force reduced the recommended screening age from 50 to 45. Native American colon cancer rates are higher than the population as a whole.
Native America Calling will talk with experts about the types of colon cancer screenings available and who should consider talking to their doctor about them.
