When it comes to colon cancer, prevention and early detection are your best defense. Routine screenings like colonoscopies allow doctors to find and remove polyps before they ever have a chance to turn into cancer.

Guidelines recommend starting routine screenings at age 45, or earlier if you have a family history. Prioritizing this step now is one of the most powerful things you can do for your long-term health.
