Abnormal results trigger a colonoscopy. This shift responds to a rising tide of early-onset cases, now as common in 45-50-year-olds as in 50-55-year-olds. Experts suspect diet and gut bacteria changes, with some patients diagnosed as young as 20. Doctors urge anyone with blood in stool or bowel changes to act fast, and those with family history to consult their provider. The move, especially impactful for those born after 1980, aims to catch cancer early, prevent thousands of cases, and ease healthcare strain.
