Key Points
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening should begin at age 50 years in asymptomatic persons.
- Colonoscopy every 10 years and annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) are currently the first considerations for screening.
- A risk-stratified approach is also appropriate, with FIT screening in populations with an estimated low prevalence of advanced neoplasia and colonoscopy screening in high prevalence populations.
