On this episode of What’s Health Got to Do With It, we talk with leading experts and survivors to discuss colorectal cancer. It remains the third most common cancer diagnosed worldwide and is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths. This type of cancer typically affects older individuals, with researchers noting a 15% increase in diagnoses since 2004.

Plus, we hear from survivors who provide firsthand insights into their journey with colorectal cancer.
