The risk of Colorectal Cancer increases for both men and women as they age.

Other factors also increase a person's risk, including:

• A personal or family history of benign colorectal polyps
• A family history of colorectal cancer
• A personal or family history of inflammatory bowel disease, ulcerative colitis or Crohn's
• A family history of ovarian, endometrial or breast cancer
• People of African American or Hispanic descent
• People who use tobacco, are obese or sedentary
• Men and woman over the age of 50

Colorectal Cancer is preventable and is easy to treat and often curable when detected early.
