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.
The age at which you should have your first colonoscopy varies according to your level of risk for developing colon cancer. Guidelines developed collaboratively by the American Cancer Society, the American College of Radiology and the U .S.f a family member was younger than age 50 when diagnosed with colon cancer, you should have the colonoscopy 10 years earlier than the age of that person when diagnosed.
