New colon cancer screening guidelines are putting a stronger focus on options that meet people where they are, from at-home tests to a newly approved blood test.
While colonoscopies remain the most effective, the goal is simple: get more people screened. ✅
Dr. Doug Flora emphasizes that screening goes beyond early detection:
“This is not just a screenable disease; it’s actually preventable. If you follow these guidelines and complete these screenings, you can find cancer early, treat it, cure it and move on.”
With colorectal cancer now impacting younger adults more than ever, starting screening at age 45 is critical.
