Over 45? Get a Colonoscopy
Regular screening is the best way to prevent colon cancer. Colon cancer screening should begin at the age of 45 for both men and women.
Patients with a family history of colon cancer or pre-cancerous polyps may have different screening guidelines and should consult their health care provider.
Colorectal Cancer Screening Guidelines
Huntsman Cancer Institute and University of Utah ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ recommend you start screening for colorectal cancer at age 45.
Talk to your provider about what cancer screenings are right for you. Screening recommendations differ if you have higher-than-average risk and a family history of colorectal cancer. You may need additional screening exams.
Risk factors for colorectal cancer include:
- a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps, including if it was found in a family member younger than age 45;
- personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease; and
- a genetic syndrome such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome).
Our team at The Family Cancer Assessment Clinic at Huntsman Cancer Institute helps you find out if genes play a role in your personal or family health history.
