Colorectal Cancer Canada urges Ontario to lower screening age to 45 due to rising cases in younger adults.
Colorectal cancer is increasingly affecting younger Canadians, leading Colorectal Cancer Canada to urge Ontario to lower routine screening age from 50 to 45 for average-risk individuals.
The group warns delayed screening causes later diagnoses, more aggressive treatments, and preventable deaths, citing rising cases among adults aged 45 to 49 and the disease being the leading cause of cancer death under 50 in the U.S.
The push follows the deaths of actor James Van Der Beek and Canadian actress Catherine O’Hara.
As part of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, the organization is hosting a national advocacy day on March 10 and promoting awareness through Dress in Blue Day on March 6, encouraging use of at-home fecal immunochemical tests and hashtags like #GetScreened and #Screenat45.
Colorectal Cancer Canada insta a Ontario a bajar la edad de detección a 45 debido al aumento de casos en adultos más jóvenes.
