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.
Given that the average age for colon cancer diagnosis is 70, if someone were treated for the cancer at that age, then had a normal follow-up colonoscopy at age 75, another test at age 80 would be classified as too soon by the University of Texas study, Rex notes.
