Connections: Colon Cancer

A first-of-its-kind study shows that achieving the goal of an 80% screening rate for people age 50 and older by 2018 would have a substantial impact against colorectal cancer – the third leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the U.S. We're looking at colon cancer and answering our listeners' questions with our guests:

  • Dr. Jeffrey Goldstein, gastroenterologist for Rochester Regional Health System
  • Jason Coleman, American Cancer Society
  • Dr. Alvaro Carrascal, Vice President of Health Systems in New York and New Jersey for the American Cancer Society
