Colorectal Cancer Screening and Polyp Surveillance

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in the United States and is a leading cause of cancer deaths. Men and women should begin screening for colorectal cancer at the age of 45. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment of the disease. Individuals with certain risk factors, such as inflammatory bowel disease or a family history of colorectal cancer, are advised to start screening at age 40. Our experts recommend a colonoscopy exam every five to 10 years as part of the screening process. You can perform stool screening tests every one to three years to help with early detection and treatment of colorectal cancer.

When your physician detects abnormal growths called polyps during a colonoscopy, they can remove them before they can turn into cancer. Given that some polyps can develop into cancer over time, regular follow-up colonoscopies are essential for monitoring and removing any new polyps, which helps to safeguard your long-term health.
