Colorectal cancer screening should begin at 50
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. More than 90 percent of colorectal From the cancer cases occur in people ages 50 and older. The most effective way to reduce one’s risk is by having regular colorectal cancer screening tests, beginning at age 50. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends screening people until they reach 75 years old. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if everyone 50 years old and older were screened regularly, as many as 60 percent of deaths from colorectal cancer could be avoided.

weight may decrease the risk for colorectal cancer. Evidence is less clear about other ways to prevent the disease. Currently, there is no consensus on the role of diet in preventing colorectal cancer, but medical experts recommend a diet low in animal fats and high in fruits, vegetables and whole grain products to reduce the risk of other chronic diseases, such as coronary artery disease and diabetes. Researchers also are examining the role of certain medications and supplements, including aspirin, calcium, vitamin D, and selenium, in preventing colorectal cancer. If concerned about a family member or loved one who is older than age 50 and putting off getting tested, some tips can help to jumpstart the conversation. Start by saying, “I care about you,” explain the reasons for getting tested and offer support when necessary. If patients act early, they have a good chance of preventing or finding the cancer when it can be treated more easily. If the doctor does find polyps inside the colon, they can be removed before they become cancer.
