MSGNA Board of Directors

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of new cancer cases and deaths for both men and women in Maine. In 2010, nearly 800 Mainers were diagnosed with colon cancer and 270 died from the disease. If you do not have insurance or your insurance will not pay for a colonscopy, call The Maine Colorectal Cancer Control Program Colon Screening Hotline at 1-877-320-6800.
