Welcome to eHealth Radio with Lynda de Widt. 

Our topic today is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.  The American Cancer Society estimates almost 97,000 new cases of colon cancer in the U.S. this year. The good news?  There’s been a 30-percent drop in cancer rates over the past decade for people 50 and older—due to colon cancer screenings. 

Dr. Shekar Narayanan, a colorectal surgeon with Community Health Network, is our guest for the program.
