3/1/2022 - There are several things on our “to do” list that we’re all really good at putting off to avoid disruption to our daily routines. However, when it comes to cancer screenings, it’s worth a little disruption, especially colorectal cancer screenings - a great example of something many would prefer not to do and often delay. Mika Cline, M.D., of Texas Oncology–Austin Midtown and Muffaddal Morkas, M.D. of Texas Oncology–Houston Memorial City share the importance of detecting cancer early, especially since colorectal cancer is the second-leading cancer killer of men and women combined in the U.S. Screenings are essential to diagnosing colorectal cancer because the disease typically lacks symptoms in the early stages.
