Fast, Easy At-Home Colon Cancer Screening

Don’t wait for symptoms to get screened for colon cancer.

  • For those at average risk, screening should begin at age 50.
  • If you have a family history of polyps or colon cancer, screening should start 10 years before the age a loved one was diagnosed or a polyp was found.
  • Every patient is different—talk to your provider to determine the best screening plan for you.
