Colorectal Cancer
Frequently Asked Questions
12. Does the U.S. government have any
specific recommendations about getting tested for colorectal
cancer?
Yes. In July 2002, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force made its
strongest ever recommendation for colorectal cancer screening: it
urged all adults age 50 and over to get screened, or tested, for
the disease. The task force noted that various screening tests are
available, making it possible for patients and their clinicians to
decide which test is best for each person.
