​​​​​​​​Colorectal Cancer Screening: The Lifesaver

Colorectal cancer can be referred to separately as colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where it starts. When detected early, colorectal cancers can be cured.​

We suggest getting a colonoscopy, the gold standard in colon screenings, starting at age 45 or earlier if there is a family history or other risk factors. These screenings can find cancer at early stages when it's easiest to treat. Colonoscopies can even prevent cancer by finding and removing cancerous polyps.
