Abstract in brief
- The American Cancer Society updated its guidelines in 2018, recommending that average-risk adults begin colorectal cancer screening at age 45, which is earlier than previous guidelines that started at age 50, based on evidence showing benefits in reducing incidence and mortality.
- Screening options include stool-based tests and structural visual examinations, with all positive non-colonoscopy results requiring a follow-up colonoscopy, and the decision to screen should consider patient preferences and test availability.
- The guidelines strongly recommend screening for adults aged 50 and older up to age 75, and suggest personalized decisions for those between 75 and 85, emphasizing that healthy adults with a life expectancy over 10 years should continue screening.
