When do I need to get screened for colorectal cancer?
All men and women should consider being screened for colorectal cancer.
Your individual risk factor which include ethnicity, lifestyle and family history will be used to determine when you should start getting checked.
The American Cancer Society recently recommended that adults without a family history should begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45.
