If you're over 45 or have a family history of cancer, it's crucial to prioritize regular screening. Other risk factors like excess weight, smoking, alcohol consumption, and inactivity can also contribute. Don't ignore the signs – early detection matters! Discover the convenience of an at-home screening test designed to detect cancer early. Your doctor can order a Cologuard kit to be delivered to your doorstep, and all you need to do is follow the instructions provided.

A positive result doesn't necessarily mean cancer. It's a sign to consult your doctor and schedule a colonoscopy. The screening targets polyps, which can lead to cancer if left untreated. Colaguard identifies these polyps early, with an impressive 92% success rate in detecting colon cancers at their earliest, most treatable stages. Your health matters, and so do your loved ones. A few minutes invested in this screening could provide a lifetime of benefits. Don't procrastinate – the risk of colon cancer increases with age. Taking the Colaguard screening is a small step that can make a significant difference. Don't wait until it's too late – prevention is key.
