The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults without signs or symptoms of colorectal cancer with average risk undergo routine screening for colorectal cancer from age 45 to 75.
The American Cancer Society recommends the same time frame for colorectal cancer screening for people with average risk. An annual FIT test could meet this standard for this population.
If a person wishes to have a FIT test instead of other screening options, they can discuss this with their doctor.
