Colorectal cancer screening in integrated healthcare systems

February 14, 2018

We hear a lot of warnings about lung cancer, skin cancer, and breast cancer. However, colorectal cancer is actually the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.—both for men and women. That’s a sad statistic when you consider that this disease, often referred to as the silent killer, is one of the most preventable cancers. It’s also expensive cancer to treat—unless it is caught early. The estimated costs for one year of treatment for a patient with late-stage colorectal cancer are as high as $310,000, with an estimated annual cost nationwide of $14 billion.
