Check for colon cancer

A Kentucky Colon Cancer Screening Program grant will allow the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department to partner with Kentucky Pink Connection to provide colon cancer screening for eligible, low-income, uninsured Fayette county residents.

To be eligible for screening, individuals must be ages 50-64 (age 45 for blacks), or under age 50 if certain risk factors are present. They must be U.S. citizens or legal immigrants and Kentucky residents.

Patient navigators will interview potential participants to determine eligibility and arrange screenings (limited funding is available for participants requiring colonoscopies).

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in Kentucky. Screening is important because the cancer usually has no symptoms in its early stages, when it is easiest to treat. People age 50 or older should be screened regularly.

For more information about the program or to schedule a screening, call Kentucky Pink Connection at (859) 309-1700.
