âDeaths from colorectal cancer have been going down over the past 10 years, and probably 50 percent of that reduction is due to screening.â. Guidelines say that at age 50, everyone should consider having a screening test for colon cancer. (About 90 percent of new cases and 95 percent of colon cancer deaths occur after age 50.) Screening are a test for blood in the stool, repeated annually; an exam with a thin, flexible tube called a sigmoidoscope every five years; or a colonoscopy every 10 years.
1 If you have had colon cancer already, you need a colonoscopy every three years. 2  If you have had precancerous polyps in your colon, you need regular colonoscopies, the frequency of which is determined by the number and size of the polyps. If you are 50 years or older with no family history or personal history of polyps or cancer, then the first colonoscopy should be at 50. 2  If you are African American, your screening colonoscopy should start at age 45. 3  If that is normal, you should have one every eight years afterward.
