When Should You Start Colon Cancer Screenings.
Getting regular colon cancer screenings is the best way to prevent colorectal cancer or catch it early when it’s easier to treat. Experts recommend starting screenings at age 45. Finding and removing polyps during a colonoscopy can lower your cancer risk. Your doctor will decide how often you need screenings based on your individual situation, including how well your colon was prepped for the test.
