March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month, a crucial period dedicated to raising public awareness and understanding of colon (colorectal) cancer. This month emphasizes the importance of early detection, prevention, and available treatments for one of the most prevalent cancers globally. It serves as a reminder for individuals to prioritise their health through regular screenings and lifestyle modifications.

The goal of Colon Cancer Awareness Month is to educate the public about the importance of early screening and to clarify the processes involved. It’s a time to share information on how lifestyle factors, such as diet and exercise, can impact one’s risk and the steps that can be taken to mitigate this risk. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to support those affected by colon cancer, whether they are currently undergoing treatment, are survivors, or have lost loved ones to the disease.
