Help patients receive colorectal cancer screenings

You can help play a vital role in encouraging patients to complete colorectal cancer screenings. We offer valuable tools to help you have meaningful conversations with your patients who may be hesitant to screen for colon cancer.

 

The American Cancer Society and National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable have created a series of population-specific messaging guides that can help you address specific concerns for your patients:

 

At-home screening kits

In addition to traditional colonoscopies, at-home screening kits can help members complete their preventive screenings. These kits offer a convenient and non-invasive alternative for colorectal cancer screening, making it easier for hesitant patients to participate in regular screenings.

 

By utilizing these guides and promoting at-home screening kits, you can help make a significant impact on the early detection and prevention of colorectal cancer.
