66 years old. no hx of polyps or positive hematocult. is cologuard a good idea instead of colonoscopy. had negative virtual colonoscopy seven years ag?

Colon cancer screen: If you have never had a colonoscopy, you should. It currently is the gold standard for colon cancer screening. Cologuard and virtual colonography both have a substantially higher false negative rate. With medication, colonoscopy these days is very easy, comfortable, and safe, and will give you the highest likelihood of being able to prevent colon cancer. Don't sell yourself short!
