Why Colon Cancer Screening Matters
Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. Screening can find problems early, when they are most treatable — and can even prevent cancer by finding and removing polyps.

Common questions. Clear answers.
Straightforward information to help you move forward with confidence.
When should screening begin?
For most adults at average risk, routine colorectal cancer screening begins at age 45. Earlier or more frequent evaluation may be appropriate for some people with family history, prior polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, hereditary syndromes, or symptoms.
Do I need a colonoscopy?
Colonoscopy is one important screening option, but it is not the only option for average-risk screening. Your health history, preferences, follow-through, and clinician guidance matter.
What if my FIT is positive?
A positive FIT does not mean you have cancer. It does mean the screening process needs to be completed with a timely follow-up colonoscopy.
