Is it true that the CDC recommends that everyone get a colonoscopy every 10 years?

Yes, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that all adults should have a screening colonoscopy at age 50. The American College of Gastroenterology also recommends that people who are at higher risk of developing colorectal cancer should start getting screened earlier in life, such as between the ages of 45-50.
