"More Women Die Than Men From Colorectal Cancer Every Year""Colorectal Cancer Is The SECOND Leading Cause Of Cancer Death In The USA" March Is Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Awareness Month CHICAGO, IL -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 03/14/2002 -- Colorectal Cancer is a disease that people often associate with men, but you might be surprised to know that today, more women die from it than men. Oddly enough, the reason is women are not getting screened for the disease as often as their male counterparts even though they are 33% more likely to see a doctor on an annual basis. Here is the story of a Colorectal Cancer Survivor! This year there will be an estimated 148-thousand new cases reported and 56,000 deaths from the disease. That includes men and women in what is often considered a predominantly male disease. Many of the new cases and deaths are preventable by improvements in nutrition and exercise – as well as with an in-office screening procedure called a colonoscopy that can detect the cancer at its earliest most curable stage.
