Colorectal cancer is on the rise in young adults. Typically, there aren't symptoms of colorectal cancer in its early stages. That's why screenings are so important.
For people at average risk, colorectal cancer screening is generally recommended beginning at age 45. Depending on your personal or family history and other risk factors, your doctor may recommend screening earlier.
Talk with your doctor about your risk and when screening may be right for you.
