Editor's Notes

  1. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. It is third in men to lung and prostate cancer and third in women to lung and breast cancer; however, because it affects both genders, it is the second overall leading cause of death. Colorectal cancer tends to develop first from benign polyps in a slow process, and once it has developed it spreads slowly. Colorectal cancer screening rates are lower than breast or prostate cancer, even though colorectal cancer is much more preventable than either.
