Colorectal Cancer Awareness Fair

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Fair 

Not including skin cancers, the third leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States is colorectal cancer.  Although fatal if not treated, it is also one of the most curable forms of cancer.

To increase awareness of colorectal cancer, Duke Raleigh Hospital is hosting a Colorectal Cancer Awareness Fair open to the public on Friday, March 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Duke Raleigh Cancer Center front lobby, 3404 Wake Forest Road.

The awareness fair will include educational information for the public about the importance of screening, the latest information on colorectal cancer and prevention, the importance of diet and family history, door prizes and giveaways.  Physicians will be available to answer any questions. 

The program is free and open to the public. For questions or more information about this awareness fair, please call 919-954-3950 or email lauren.rickman@duke.edu.  Click on this link for more information about colorectal cancer screenings.
