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 get your colonoscopy is sometimes known as your âcolonoscopy age.â Adults who are at average risk for colon cancer should have a baseline colonoscopy at the age of 50 and every 10 years thereafter if the colonoscopy is clear, but age 50 is not the magic number for all people.or example: Being of African American descent is one risk factor that lowers colonoscopy age. African Americans should be screened for colon cancer at age 45 because of higher incidence of colon cancer. Having a family history of colon cancer or colon polyps.
