Are patients with +FOBT under the age of 50 part of ColonCancerCheck?
Patients under 50 years of age should only be referred as part of the program if they have a family history of colorectal cancer. For those at increased risk because of family history, screening using colonoscopy should begin at the age of 50 years, or 10 years earlier than the age of the relative’s diagnosis, whichever comes first.
