Ontario has updated its colorectal cancer screening guidelines. Regular screening is now recommended starting at age 45 for people at average risk, even if you have no symptoms.

Early detection can make a significant difference and screening saves lives. If you have questions about your risk factors or screening options, speak with your healthcare provider

Starting July 1, Ontario is lowering the eligibility age to allow people to access publicly funded colorectal cancer screening to help more people receive life-saving screening services sooner.

This historic expansion will give more than one million additional people the option to connect to life-saving screening services to detect and treat colorectal cancer sooner.
