Colon cancer screening should start at age 45, not 50, according to a draft of new guidelines prompted by a rising incidence of colorectal cancer in younger people, a top medical panel said.

The draft, published Tuesday by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, adPds weight to previous recommendations, most notably the American Cancer Society, which began recommending lower-age screening in 2018.

That means insurance companies are more likely to cover colonoscopies and other tests in those ages 45 to 49, NBC News noted.
