MUSC was just ranked SC's No. 1 hospital and cancer center by U.S News & World Report! Three Department of Surgery procedures received “high-performing” designations: Aortic Valve Surgery (Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery), Colon Cancer Surgery (Division of Colorectal Surgery), and Lung Cancer Surgery (Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery). Congratulations! musc.edu/content-hub/News/20…

You’re never too young for cancer. At just 25 years old, Hayden was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer – a powerful reminder this Cancer Survivors Month that symptoms shouldn’t be ignored at any age. Read his story: bit.ly/4mUmbqE

Colorectal cancer is common, deadly, and preventable. It's the 3rd most common cancer in the US, and the second leading cause of cancer-related death. About 5% of us are going to get colorectal cancer during our lifetimes. The best tool we have to detect cancer and pre-cancerous polyps is a colonoscopy. The USPSTF recommends that screening colonoscopy start at age 45 for average-risk people, and this is covered by your insurance. If you have a family history, you need to start even earlier. Please please please get your colonoscopy. Then, you'll never have to discover first-hand if I'm any good at my job or not. The life you save may be your own! @unmc @NebraskaMed #coloncancer
