结肠癌的早期检测是可以治疗的。

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer of both men and women in the U.S.

While there are other tests, a colonoscopy is the gold standard for colon cancer screenings. Colon cancer is slow growing and can come with few or no symptoms. A colonoscopy is the best way to find and remove colon polyps before they become cancerous.

Cancer screening guidelines from the American Cancer Society:

45

Because early detection is key, the latest guidance recommends that people of average risk begin their screening at age 45 (rather than 50). People with symptoms or a family history should talk with their health care provider about starting earlier.

75

If you're in good health, you should continue regular screenings through age 75.

76-85

For people ages 76 through 85, talk with your health care provider about whether continuing to get screened is right for you. When deciding, take into account your own preferences, overall health, and past screening history.

Over 85

People over 85 no longer need colorectal cancer screenings.

There are several screening options, including simple at-home tests. If you choose to be screened with a test other than colonoscopy, any abnormal test result needs to be followed up with adiagnostic colonoscopy.
