Guest column | Reasons you should get a colonoscopy earlier than recommended - The Washington Post
Overview
An oncologist's column outlines who should consider colorectal screening before age 45 based on family history, genetics, inflammatory bowel disease and symptoms. The American Cancer Society’s addition of a blood test offers another screening option for people hesitant to get colonoscopies, but clinicians should still prioritize individualized, risk-based decisions and confirm positive blood tests with diagnostic evaluation.
