March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer in the U.S. and the second leading cause of cancer deaths. Yet this cancer can be prevented with screening and is highly treatable when detected early. On this episode of our DocTalk podcast, we’re discussing colon cancer with Dr. Walid Chalhoub, the Division Chief of Gastroenterology at MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center, and the Co-Director of Advanced Endoscopy at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital.
Dr. Chalhoub discusses the difference between gastroenterology and advanced gastroenterology, and how getting a colonoscopy can save your life.
