About Quest Diagnostics' Campaign to Challenge Colorectal Cancer
Quest Diagnostics recently launched a new education campaign aimed at breaking down barriers to compliance with tests used to screen for colorectal cancer. The goal of the new campaign is to have five million people complete their annual testing over the next five years. The Challenge urges individuals to talk to their healthcare providers about annual colorectal cancer screening using the InSure(R) FIT(TM) take-home test.
