If you're 45 or older and have not been screened for colon cancer, we're looking at you.

Colon cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related death in people under 50. The recommended age to begin screening used to be 50, but has since been lowered to age 45.

A colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for colon cancer screening because it allows your doctor to examine the entire colon. During the procedure, precancerous polyps can be detected and removed before they have a chance to develop into cancer.

When caught early, colon cancer is often highly treatable. So if you're 45 or older, schedule a colonoscopy today!
