Colonoscopies
Considered the gold standard for colon cancer screening
Colonoscopies can detect precancerous polyps or early-stage cancer, which may not have symptoms. Detecting and removing polyps during the colonoscopy can prevent cancer or catch it in an early, treatable stage.
If you have average risk factors or no symptoms, the recommended age to start regular colon cancer screening begins at age 45.
Know Your Risk Factors
According to the National Institutes of Health, you may be more likely to develop colorectal cancer if you:
- are 45 or older
- have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer
- have Lynch syndrome or another genetic disorder that increases the risk of colorectal cancer
- have obesity, smoke cigarettes, or drink alcohol
Reduce Your Risk
Be proactive about your GI health and reduce the risk of colon cancer. Be sure to:
- eat a healthy diet to help maintain and take control of your weight
- stay active and get regular exercise
- avoid tobacco and alcohol
- most importantly, regular screenings can detect early signs of colon cancer and should start at age 45
