結直腸癌是一種結腸或直腸細胞生長失控的疾病。在美國，結直腸癌位列主要癌症死亡原因之一。美國癌症協會預測，2025年美國將有大約150,000例結直腸癌新增病例，死亡人數多達53,000人。 每年大約有3,000名紐約人死於該病。 50歲以上人群的患病風險更高。 篩查很重要，可以挽救生命。及早發現，治療成功的幾率更高。請向您的家庭或個人醫生(PCP)諮詢關於結腸直腸癌和篩檢的事宜。

Despite decades of research about the importance of dental health and the repercussions of neglecting teeth and gums, many Americans still lack access to the dental care they need. Only 63% of American adults saw a dentist in the last year. More alarming? Over 25% of young and middle-aged adults have untreated cavities, and almost half of adults over the age of 30 have gum disease.
