In 2011, the American Cancer Society estimated about 141,210 people would be diagnosed with colorectal cancer. It also projected that about 49,380 people in the U.S. would die from the disease. Although these are alarming numbers, the good news is that colorectal cancer can be detected early with the right screening.
