AMSURG Urges Early Screening Amid Rising Colon Cancer Rates During Awareness Month

by

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, March 3, 2025 — As Colon Cancer Awareness Month kicks off, AMSURG, a national leader in ambulatory surgery center services and gastrointestinal (GI) care, is emphasizing the critical importance of early screening and prevention of the disease. The company’s campaign aims to educate Americans about the warning signs of colon cancer while increasing access to life-saving colonoscopies in light of rising rates among young adults.

“Colon cancer is preventable with appropriate screening and highly treatable when detected early, and yet, it remains the second leading cause of cancer death and is rising in incidence, especially among younger populations, according to the American Cancer Society,” said AMSURG Chief Clinical Officer Abbey Vandersall, MD, MS. “At AMSURG, we support over a million patients a year through their colonoscopies and see firsthand the challenges patients face when it comes to screening. That’s why we’re committed to breaking down barriers — whether through innovative partnerships or by improving education, access and affordability — all of which are crucial to enabling early detection and saving lives.”

AMSURG partners with more than 1,300 GI physicians across the country, providing high-quality care and advancing colon cancer prevention efforts. These physicians play a vital role in creating prevention plans, identifying pre-cancerous polyps, diagnosing colon cancer and guiding patients through treatment.

“Our network of GI physicians works tirelessly on the front lines of the fight against colon cancer, providing high-quality care and performing life-saving screenings every day,” shared AMSURG Medical Staff Lead Jay Popp, MD, MACG. “Their commitment to early detection and prevention is at the heart of our mission. Through collaboration, education and ongoing advancements, we are dedicated to beating this preventable disease.”

A colonoscopy is the most thorough screening test. It enables physicians to examine the entire colon to identify and remove polyps before they pose a greater health risk to patients. Individuals should consult a physician if they are experiencing any signs or symptoms or have questions about when they should be screened.
