There’s so much in life we can’t control. But here’s something we can: colorectal cancer.
人生有許多事情我們無法控制。但有些可以自控：結(jié)腸直腸癌。
It affects men and women, and it’s the second leading cancer killer in the U.S., which is astounding, considering it’s almost entirely preventable!
男女都有可能患結(jié)腸直腸癌，它也是美國第二大癌癥殺手，這似乎讓人匪夷所思，因為結(jié)腸直腸癌幾乎可以預(yù)防。
Here's how.

Screening also finds this cancer early, when treatment works best.
篩查可及早發(fā)現(xiàn)癌癥，這對于治療極為重要。
