The Alegent Health Podcast #4 - Colon Cancer

Medical experts agree that colon cancer, if caught early, is a very preventable disease. However, many men and women don't get screened when they turn 50. Now the American Cancer Society and other health groups have come together to recommend two new tests to prevent or detect colon cancer for both men and women. In this installment of Alegent Health's Listen to your Health Care Podcast, you'll hear more about these new guidelines from Alan Thorson, M.D., an Alegent Health Colorectal Surgeon. Colon cancer survivor Carol Becker will also share her personal story of survival after being diagnosed with an advanced stage of colon cancer when she turned 50.
