The Cost of Colorectal Cancer: $24.3 Billion Annually Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. Beyond the devastating health impact, CRC also comes with a staggering financial burden—$24.3 billion annually in medical costs. 🔹 The good news? Screening can change this. Early detection makes CRC easier and less expensive to treat. But too often, screening remains confusing for patients due to varying test options and insurance coverage. That’s where Screen Utah comes in. We’re working across payers, providers, and public health agencies to: ✅ Simplify the screening process ✅ Expand access to at-home and clinical screening options ✅ Improve follow-up care coordination By increasing screening rates, we can reduce costs, save lives, and improve outcomes. 📢 Join us in this effort!
