All adults with an average risk of colorectal (colon and rectal) cancers need to undergo routine screenings starting at age 45.  However, those with a family history of colorectal cancer or any other risk factors should begin screening earlier than age 45. African Americans also face a slightly higher risk and need to discuss screening earlier.

Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in men and women combined in the U.S. It is highly treatable when caught early. Over 30 million, ages 50-75, are not up-to-date on screening, and 60 percent of deaths could be prevented with screening. Know your screening options.

Fight Colorectal Cancer has created these resources to help answer your questions and educate about colorectal cancer screening.
