If you’re having symptoms time to get checked out.

People under age 50 have been appearing increasingly at doctors’ offices in the past few decades, complaining of blood in their stool, abdominal trouble or unexplained weight loss.

The diagnosis: colorectal cancer. And by that time, it was often too late.

But that paradigm is finally starting to shift, at least for patients in their 40s.

There has been a jump in people aged 45 to 49 getting screened for colorectal cancer, after recent medical guidelines lowered the screening age for those at average risk.

Take control of your well-being! If you're 45 or older, now is the perfect time to schedule a potentially life-saving colon cancer screening. If you're under 45, you may still benefit from one, especially if you have a family history or are experiencing unusual symptoms like new constipation or bleeding.
