Ninety-three percent of colon cancer cases occur in people over 50 years of age.

If you have a close relative (parent, sibling, or child) who has colorectal polyps or cancer, or inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's or ulcerative colitis then it may be recommended that you have screening earlier than at age fifty.
