Colorectal cancer — or cancer that starts in the colon or rectum — is one of the most common cancer diagnosed in the US, and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men and in women.
In addition to living a healthy lifestyle, doctors recommend that adults with an average risk of colorectal cancer should begin screening around age 45, while those with an increased risk (e.g. a family history of colorectal cancer) should consider screening sooner.
Several screening tests can be used to find colorectal cancer or polyps: small clumps of cells that form on the lining of the colon and can develop into cancer. Your doctor will determine which test is right for you.
