Colon Cancer Screening: USPSTF Recommendation

This indicator shows the percentage of adults who met the USPSTF recommendation of screening for colorectal cancer through FIT, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, FIT-DNA, and CT colonography.
Why is this important?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), colorectal cancer--cancer of the colon or rectum-- is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States, and is the third leading cancer killer in the United States. The CDC estimates that if all adults aged 50 or older had regular screening tests for colon cancer, as many as 60% of the deaths from colorectal cancer could be prevented. Risks and benefits of using different screening methods, such as stool-based tests, sigmoidoscopies, and colonoscopies, vary. The US Preventive Service Task Forces recommends that screening begin at age 45 and continue until age 75; however, testing may need to begin earlier or be more frequent if colorectal cancer runs in the family, or if there is a previous diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease. Speak with a doctor about when to begin screening and how often to be tested.
