Lancaster General Health gastroenterologist Dr. Daniel Connell talks about the importance of getting colon cancer screenings starting at the age of 50. And, for those who have faced colon cancer in their family, like Shirley Wissler, he says the screening should start at age 40. Regular colorectal cancer screening, such as getting a colonoscopy, is also one of the most powerful weapons for preventing colorectal cancer in people who have no symptoms of the disease. Why? Because during the cancer screening, doctors are able to remove small non-cancerous ployps from the colon before they have a chance to become cancerous, Yet, only 4 out of every 10 adults will get screened for colon cancer.
