Thank you for prioritizing your patients' care.

45 is the new 50 for colorectal cancer screening. Because of an increase in cases among younger people, experts now recommend screenings beginning at age 45 for individuals at average risk for the disease.

Gastroenterologists know colonoscopy is the gold standard for colorectal cancer screening for both detecting and removing potentially cancerous polyps.

If your patient is...

  • 45 and older — Schedule them for a life-saving colonoscopy even if they don’t have symptoms.
  • African American — They have the highest rates of colorectal cancer of any racial or ethnic group in the U.S. Schedule them for a colonoscopy.
  • Hispanic — Colon cancer is the second-leading cancer killer in the US among Hispanics, but it can be prevented by scheduling a colonoscopy.

If your patient has...

  • Received a positive stool test for colorectal cancer, follow up with a colonoscopy.
  • A family history of colorectal cancer, schedule a colonoscopy.
