Welcome To The March/April 2010 Issue 
Not counting skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in men and women in the United States. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, and Moffitt Cancer Center health care professionals discuss ways to reduce your risk of developing this disease. Moffitt will recognize National Minority Cancer Awareness Week, April 19-23 this year, by presenting a series of programs designed to reach out to minority and higher-risk communities with education and resources to help prevent cancer. Sincerely, Spring Health Awareness Events 
Moffitt Diversity works throughout the year to provide educational programs vital to the well being of individuals from various ethnic groups. This April Moffitt recognizes National Minority Cancer Awareness Week with two presentations featuring national leaders. In keeping with March, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, this issue of Moffitt Momentum discusses known risk factors for the disease and some clear ways to control many of those risk factors.

Now cancer-free, Brooks says she wanted to do more than just survive, and she joined Moffitt’s Total Cancer Care™ protocol to give back to others. “I am a blessed person, and I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what I had to,” says the 45-year-old mother of two. Brooks donates medical data and tissue to help researchers use the information to learn more about the issues related to cancer and treatment through the Total Cancer Care™ project.
