What you need to know about colorectal cancer

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

For Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we discuss an important cancer screening that many people are putting off. Colonoscopies can seem intimidating, but Dr. Jeff Murray says they're the best screening option.

Dr. Murray is a gastroenterologist at Sanford Health. We discuss taking care of your gut health and why colorectal cancer rates are rising in younger people.

Plus, we'll learn about a new fellowship that may help address a provider shortage and how Dr. Murray hopes to educate the next generation of specialists.
