Cancer screening guidelines urge colorectal tests at 50
The American Cancer Society recommends starting colorectal screenings at age 50, or earlier if you have a family history or inflammatory bowel disease. Tests detect problems before symptoms and improve survival. Symptoms include persistent bowel habit changes and a constant urge. Daily fiber rich diet and regular exercise reduce risk, with 30 minutes most days helping bowel movement and reduce cancer exposure.
