The usual recipe is a colonoscopy at age 50, 60 and 70. To be supplemented by other yearly blood or DNA (cologard) tests.
If you have family history or symptoms you accelerate the schedule.
- risyachka 6y agoThe problem is that in lots of countries you can't possibly know your history because the medical system is low quality, people just die and you have no idea why your relatives have died. And if you are diagnosed with cancer - its basically a death sentence unless you have somewhere few hundred thousand dollars laying around, because the best operation surgeons can do in your country is cut out appendix like it is 1990s.
- trevyn 6y ago>people just die and you have no idea why your relatives have died This system actually has advantages. From an outside perspective, it seems like Americans spend an awful lot of time in doctor's offices and obsessing over health issues (a strange way to spend one's life), when the end result will be the same.
