Bowel cancer often starts out with small, noncancerous polyps in the large intestine (bowel) that don’t produce symptoms. Therefore, it’s recommended you receive screenings to identify and remove polyps before they become cancerous.
Bowel cancer can occur at any age, however, it’s most common in older adults. If you do develop bowel cancer, your doctor will work with you to tailor a treatment plan to your specific cancer and needs. The plan may include a combination of radiation, surgery and drug treatments, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Talk to your doctor about screening options to catch bowel cancer before it starts. In general, people should start regular screenings around 50.
However, your doctor may recommend you start screenings at an earlier age or have them more frequently if you are in a high-risk group, such as having a family history of bowel cancer.
Our consultants will work with you to determine if bowel cancer screening is right for you and, if so, which options best suit your needs and preferences.
