  According to the American Cancer Society, colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States for men and women.  In 2008 approximately 150,000 new cases of colon cancer will be diagnosed and there will be approximately 50,000 deaths from this disease.  Most colon cancers do not produce signs or symptoms until quite late.  Colon cancer is one of the few cancers that can be largely prevented by having a screening colonoscopy.
