Facebook Live: Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month [Video]

We were LIVE with five specialists from MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute. Dr. Dana Sloane, gastroenterologist at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center; Dr. Priyanka Kanth, an expert in gastroenterology and cancer genetics at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital; Dr. Reetu Mukherji, medical oncologist in gastrointestinal malignancies at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, Dr. Brian Bello, colorectal surgeon at MedStar Washington Hospital Center; and Dr. Luther Ampey, radiation oncologist at MedStar Montgomery Medical Center to discuss colorectal cancer.

Colorectal cancer is impacting an increasing number of Americans, with a projected 153,000 new diagnoses this year alone. What’s concerning is that more individuals under the age of 50 are being diagnosed more than ever before. That’s why it’s good to know the facts about colorectal cancer and ways to reduce your risk.
