Based on your responses, your results indicate that you are at average to above average risk of colorectal cancer. That means you need to get screened for colorectal cancer. A colonoscopy is the best screening method for detecting and preventing colorectal cancer because your gastroenterologist can remove potentially cancerous polyps during the examination. Make an appointment to get screened at San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates & Endoscopy Centers now. Delaying recommended screenings increases your risk—60 to 90 percent of colorectal cancer cases could have been prevented if recommended guidelines were followed.

Retake Assessment
A family or personal history of advanced polyps or colorectal cancer puts you at higher risk than the rest of the population.
Your results indicate that you have a family history of advanced polyps or colorectal cancer. Cases of advanced polyps or colorectal cancer affecting your mom, dad or siblings increase your risk of colorectal cancer, meaning it is recommended that you get screened earlier than is recommended for the general population. Currently, the recommended first-time screening age is 45. For people with a family history, screenings should occur when you are aged 10 years younger than the age of the family member when they were diagnosed. If you are not sure about your family history of polyps and colorectal cancer, it’s time to have that conversation with your relatives.
