Colon Cancer Screening Still Underused

Colon Cancer Screening Still Underused

More awareness is needed to screen for colon cancer. This is one type of cancer that is curable if detected early enough. Options include a fecal-occult stool test yearly, in combination with flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years, or a colonoscopy every 10 years. The best evidence-based recommendations can be found via the USPSTF.
