REMEDY-ip

  A unique approach to understanding colorectal cancer. Using state-of-the-art technologies, our study seeks to understand how diet, physical activity, and sleep can impact inflammatory markers, the gut microbiome, and ultimately colon cancer risk. This is a potentially life-changing opportunity for participants and someone else they care about.

Colorectal cancer is the 4th most diagnosed cancer in South Carolina.

It is largely preventable with screening, regular physical activity, and a healthy diet.

Where does Colorectal Cancer come from?

 

Most colorectal cancers start as an abnormal tissue growth, called a polyp, inside the colon or rectum.

With the help f screening tests, doctors can detect and remove polyps, thus preventing them from developing into colorectal cancer.
