Cancer Prevention Study - 3

A study co-authored by Dr. Caroline Um and Christina Newton, MSPH, revealed that engaging in higher levels of physical activity measured by a combination of time and intensity is linked to lower odds of developing colore**al cancer. This association holds true across all molecular and genetic subtypes of diseases. To learn more about how exercise may reduce the risk of all types of colore**al cancer, click below:

Does Exercise Reduce the Risk of All Types of Colore**al Cancer? A large study (which used CPS-II data) found that physical activity reduced the risk of developing both colon and re**al cancer for all subtypes, especially in men.

💙March is Colore**al Cancer Awareness Month 💙
Colore**al cancer is one of the most common, yet highly preventable cancers. This year, the American Cancer Society estimates:
📌108,860 new cases of colon cancer
• 55,410 in men
• 53,450 in women
📌 49,990 new cases of re**al cancer
• 28,750 in men
• 21,240 in women

Early detection saves lives. If you are 45 or older – or have a family history – talk to your doctor about getting screened.
