28,000 men and 24,000 women died from colorectal cancer. Many of these deaths are preventable because colorectal cancer is easy to diagnose and treat at early stages, compared with other cancer types.

A doctor can check for these cell clumps with a procedure called a colonoscopy: a long, flexible tube with a tiny video camera at the end goes into a patient's rectum, allowing the doctor to look for any abnormalities.
