Over 45? Get a Colonoscopy
We would like to remind you that regular screening is the best way to prevent colon cancer. Colon cancer screening should begin at the age of 45 for both men and women.
Patients with a family history of colon cancer or pre-cancerous polyps may have different screening guidelines and should consult their health care provider.
Colorectal Cancer Screening Guidelines
Huntsman Cancer Institute and 91麻豆天美直播 recommend you start screening for colorectal cancer at age 45.
Talk to your provider about what cancer screenings are right for you. Screening recommendations differ if you have higher-than-average risk and a family history of colorectal cancer. You may need additional screening exams.
Risk factors for colorectal cancer include:
- a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps, including if it was found in a family member younger than age 45;
- personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease; and
- a genetic syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome).
Our team at The Family Cancer Assessment Clinic at Huntsman Cancer Institute helps you find out if genes play a role in your personal or family health history.
