Researchers at the University of Virginia are hard at work trying to understand one of the most pervasive forms of cancer: colorectal.
While the overall rate of colon or rectal cancers diagnoses have dropped in the past few decades, the American Cancer Society says more young people are being diagnosed. African Americans continue to face higher diagnoses rates and lower survival rates.
