- Adults, beginning at age 45 and continuing until age 75.
- Younger adults (before age 45) depending on their family history of colorectal cancer or polyps.
- For people aged 76-85, screening decisions should be based on personal preference, prior screening history and overall health. Those over 85 most likely do not benefit from having routine screening.
- Frequency of screening depends upon type of screening test used, the results of the previous testing, as well as family history.
If you have any symptoms such as blood in your stool or stools, abdominal pain, weight loss, or change in bowel habits, don't delay and share it with your doctor as more immediate attention might be needed.
