Colonoscopy, every 10 years


or
FOBT or FIT annually if refuse endoscopy
or
Flexible sigmoidoscopy, every 5 years
with a high sensitivity fecal occult blood

CRC Screening Guidelines


American Cancer Society, June 2012

Beginning at age 50, men and women at average


risk for CRC should use one of the screening
tests.

The tests that are designed to find both early


cancer and polyps are preferred if these tests are
available to the patient and the patient is willing
to have one of these more invasive tests.

Talk to your doctor about which test is best for


you.
