When Should You Get Screened?

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.
