My Health Counts! Colorectal Cancer Screening Saves Lives | We have to be tested

MY HEALTH COUNTS! COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING SAVES LIVES is produced by WNED-TV. Colorectal cancer is one of those subjects nobody likes to talk about. Of cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the United States, but it doesn't have to be. Every year over 142,000 new cases are diagnosed and over 51,000 people die of the disease. If everybody aged 50 or older had regular screening tests as many as 60% of those deaths could be prevented. My Health Counts! Colorectal Cancer Screening Saves Lives will show you how to take control of your health and reduce your risks. Susan Hunt hosts an informative, upbeat conversation with two experts: Dr. James Corasanti and Dr. Kelli Bullard Dunn. The program also includes personal stories from people who have been personally affected by colorectal cancer including WGRZ-TV reporter Heather Ly who lost her mother to the disease at age 58.
