Doctor encourages Veterans to get a colonoscopy
“Someone
could have polyps or colorectal cancer and not know it. That is why
getting screened regularly for colorectal cancer is so important. It
doesn’t matter who you are, what your job is or what you look like. You
need to get it done because it really prevents and decreases mortality.”
