Aimed at raising education within the public regarding diseases of the colon and rectum and to promote awareness of the importance of colorectal cancer screening, prevention and treatment. These efforts also provide an important platform into the profession to encourage others to consider careers in the field of colon and rectal surgery.

"Comprehensive Cancer Centers is proud to be a community partner of the Las Vegas Lights with a goal to help bring awareness to early detection and prevention of colorectal cancers," said Jon Bilstein, CEO of Comprehensive Cancer Centers of Nevada.

We hope Lights fans find this memorable and educational."
