Most adults should get a colonoscopy or other colon cancer screening test every 10 years, starting at age 45. Earlier and more frequent screening may help people with a family history of the disease and certain inflammatory bowel diseases that increase the risk of developing colon cancer. Follow-up colonoscopies should be done every 1 to 3 years, depending on the person’s risk factors for colorectal cancer and the findings on the previous colonoscopy. If you are at an increased or high risk for colorectal cancer, your provider may recommend more frequent screenings. If you're age 45 or older and at average risk of colon cancer, your doctor may recommend a colonoscopy every 10 years. If you have other risk factors, your doctor may recommend a screen sooner.
