According to the American Cancer Society, for average-risk individuals, screening for colorectal cancer is generally recommended to begin at age 45. However, if you have a family history of colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or other risk factors, your doctor may recommend starting before age 45.
We encourage you to discuss your screening options with your physician. They can help you determine the most appropriate screening method based on your individual risk factors and preferences.
