Doctors recommend that people with an average risk of colon cancer consider colon cancer screening around age 45. But people with an increased risk, such as those with a family history of colon cancer, or those suffering from inflammatory bowel disease, should consider screening sooner.

• Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years, or
• Colonoscopy every 10 years, or
• CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years
