Get First Colonoscopy at 45, not 50

Get First Colonoscopy at 45, not 50 By Cara Murez HealthDay Reporter TUESDAY, May 18, 2021 (HealthDay News) A lot of people think of age 50 as the magic number for getting a first colonoscopy, but earlier is better, a prestigious U.S. expert panel now says. Based on evidence that younger people are being diagnosed with colon cancer and would benefit from screening, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is moving the recommended age for colon cancer screening from 50 to age 45. The recommendation is for all adults without symptoms, personal health history of colon polyps or family health history of genetic disorders that increase risk, the task force noted.

New Colon Cancer Screening Guidelines: What You Need to Know

New Colon Cancer Screening Guidelines: What You Need to Know Self 2 days ago © sorbetto/Getty Images Screening for colon cancer can start earlier, at age 45, according to new guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The change, which is the organization s first update to these recommendations since 2016, reflects the recent rise in rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) among younger people.  The USPSTF now recommends that all adults who have an average risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) start getting screened at age 45, instead of age 50, to reduce their risk of dying from CRC. The rest of the guidelines remain the same; all adults should be screened up until age 75, while the decision to screen adults ages 76 to 85 depends on the individual s screening history and general health. And the USPSTF still recommends that older adults stop getting screened after age 85.
