ColoGuard(Cancer Screen)
Medical guidelines recommend screening for colon cancer starting at age 45, instead of waiting until 50
For years, the recommendation was for adults at average risk for colon cancer to start screening at age 50, but the American Cancer Society’s guidelines have changed: now adults at average risk should start screening at age 45.1,2
Additional reasons to screen early
