News Tidbits:

• Beginning July 1st, Ontario is lowering the colorectal cancer screening age from 50 to 45 in response to a “notable” increase in younger people diagnosed with the disease. People under 50 are two-to-2.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with colorectal cancer than they were in previous generations. Screening is done via a fecal immunochemical test — or FIT — and it involves swabbing stool at home and then dropping it off or sending it to a lab. A positive result will then require a colonoscopy and further testing.
