Julian Ong : “New guidelines from the American Cancer Society (ACS) recommend that colorectal cancer screening begin at a younger age than what is currently recommended.
For persons at average risk, screening should begin at age 45 rather than 50. The change in age is based in part on recent data demonstrating a rise in colorectal cancer among younger populations.
