Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month is a time to emphasize the importance of screenings, early detection and colorectal cancer prevention. We’re doing just that with a series of local events and activities designed to raise awareness for colon cancer.

Join us for one of our interactive, walk-through or table top colon exhibits. The inflatable colons feature various stages of disease with explanations of the following:

Normal colon tissue
Crohn’s disease
Polyp
Malignant polyp
Colon cancer
Advanced colon cancer

As a leading colorectal cancer program, we are committed to being your trusted source for information, education and care. The colorectal cancer team at the Henry Ford is here for you every step of the way.
