NEW YORK (Reuters Health) Jul 15 –
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) is recommending that men and women 50 years of age and older be screened for colorectal cancer.
The recommendations appear in the July 16th issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine. “When it comes to colon cancer, screening saves lives,” Tommy G. Thompson, Secretary of Health and Human Services, said in a statement.
“Less than half of all Americans over the age of 50 are currently being screened for colorectal cancer,” he added. “This new recommendation–based on the best medical evidence available–should encourage more Americans to get one of the key screening tests to identify colon cancer early when people are more likely to recover.”
