New data supports #colorectalcancer screening starting at age 45. @eric_montminy1 & colleagues conducted a cross-sectional study of stage-stratified CRC and found that adults aged 46-49 years have an increasing burden of more advanced-stage CRC.

As GI providers we should strive to counsel patients with advanced polyps not only on their own future risk, but risk to their family members as well. As the ones performing #colonoscopy we are in an ideal position to do this. #ColorectalCancer #GItwitter @AmCollegeGastro #Cancer
