Colon cancer is The Preventable Cancer. The potentially lifesaving procedure is a colonoscopy.

45 is the new 50.
In 2021 the guidelines changed - in the US, you can now get your first colonoscopy when you turn 45 (used to be 50). And a colonoscopy is the best way to prevent colon cancer.
Colon cancer is The Preventable Cancer. You heard it here first.

Colon cancer is super common.
1 in 24 Americans will get colon cancer.
Colon cancer kills more people each year than every other type of cancer except lung cancer.
Yet it’s preventable.

#ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth
20% of new colorectal cancer cases in 2019 were in people younger than 55 — nearly double what the rate was in 1995, the American Cancer Society found.
@DrLaPook says the reason for the increase isn't certain, but encourages anyone with symptoms or above age 45 to get screened.
