Colon Cancer Prevention

Dr. Luis Barandiaran, one of two surgeons at Howard Memorial Hospital, spoke to the Nashville Rotary club on Wednesday about colon cancer screening. Dr. B says this is the most important preventive measure that a person can take. Colonoscopies can prevent cancer by removing polyps when they are found.

Dr. B says colon cancer affects men and women equally. For any concerns or questions, contact your physician.
