Colorectal Cancer Screening and Early Detection Screening for colorectal cancer screening is strongly recommended for everyone, starting at age 45. That’s because screening can help detect growths (polyps) in your colon before they turn into cancer or catch cancer in its earliest stages. Colorectal cancer screening has been proven to save lives.
