One in two Hispanic adults between 50 and 75 years of age are not getting tested as recommended, putting Hispanics at increased risk for advanced-stage colon cancer. Because of lower screening rates, colon cancer causes about 11 percent of cancer deaths among Hispanic males and nine percent of Hispanic females.
