New Colon Cancer Center to Open

Next to lung cancer, colon cancer is the second most common cancer death and it shows up in about one out of 20 people, said Dr. J. Randolph Hecht, director of UCLA’s new Colon Cancer Prevention Center. The center is to open next week to help counsel people and prevent them from getting the disease. It will be open Friday afternoons and will focus on finding people who are most at risk for colon cancer.
